Equant to slightly oval, complete orange Spessartine with good translucency and large areas of internal transparency. This is a complete crystal all around with no contacts - only a small minority of the find are complete crystals, most are shards or have contacts on at least 1 or two sides. There is a small area of overgrowth but no damage. Some areas of black inclusions but many areas of gem, bright citrus orange. Weighs 53 carats.
