Complete orange Spessartine crystal, 2.5 cm wide, set in bright, silvery green mica. Garnet has pure orange color with no black inclusions. This is one of the better specimens of the lot and the crystal was mostly enveloped in mica when I got it. I removed alot of mica, but one could remove much more mica to create a mica 'pedestal' for the garnet to sit upon. Size 6 x 5 x 2.8 cm.
