Large single crystal of Spessartine from Tanzania. These came out in numbers when first discovered but the deposit quickly dried up (and/or mining stopped) and new crystals are seldom seen anymore. This is one from the original finds recently released from a collection. It's translucent with areas of transparency, complete and undamaged.
