Complete '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 no or little significant damage - there are some shallow indentations that I think are natural growth. There are some black Braunite inclusions in a couple areas, but it's mostly large areas of bright citrus orange. Good sizedcrystal weighing 131 carats.
