Single 'citrus' orange Spessartine crystal from old finds in Tanzania. These were mostly found as partial or damaged crystals with complete crystals such as this much less common. Equant form with only slight damage (a couple of tiny edge nicks). Translucent orange with transparent gem zones. It really glows orange when backlit. Weighs 23.3 grams.
