Complete orange Spessartine from recent finds in Tanzania. Most found were partial crystals or at least had a few dings.
This one is complete and symetrical with just a couple of the tiniest of chips. Additionally, most had black inclusions of Hematite
or Braunite - this crystal is amazingly free of these balck inclusions which tend to darken the crystal - when backlit this crystal glows a
bright translucent orange. Valued at $200.
