A top quality miniature specimen druse with spheroidal aggregates of very well defined trapezohedral Spessartine Garnet crystals from the world renowned Wushan Mine. The gem quality and sparkly Garnets are between translucent and transparent and have a very intense, orange-red to orange colors, mesmerizing! The piece will be beautifully set in a high quality acrylic box especially made to display specimens.
 
The first specimens of Chinese garnet associated with smoky quartz and feldspar started appearing in the mineral market in 1998.  After many years of plentiful specimens, the mine is completely depleted and these are classic old materials highly sought after by mineral lovers in the world.  My quests to acquire new specimens have been proven to be impossible over the years, as they are no longer sold on the market, these are from my previous collections.
