S6308 - Spessartine with Aquamarine - SOLD
Shigar Valley, Northern Areas, Pakistan
Overall Size: 9 x 6.7 cm
Very fine sought after combo! Large multi-faced rich deep red glassy garnet crystals up to 2.7 cm in
length sit well against contrasting white albite matrix of 9 x 6.7 cm in overall size, the gemmy aqua
of 3.5 cm long in association with the spessartines makes it unique. The two crystals rarely grow
close enough in the pocket to be on the same specimen not to mention a good sized display piece
as seen here. One mineral worth owning, no damage.

Perfect 3 dimensional balanced cluster of 2.8 x 2.3 cm in size rests upon other sharp vibrant purple
erythrite crystals forming a specimen of 5 x 4.3 cm in overall size, xtls terminate into a ball so the

hardly seen on the market and still remain elusive today, so top examples as pictured here will
always be hard to obtain. Excellent highly aesthetic full miniature without damage!
