A very attractive specimen with the contrast of the orange Spessartine crystals with the dark Smoky Quartz and white Microcline. Both the Spessartine and Smoky Quartz crystals are well formed and have a high luster. Many of the Spessartine crystals are gemmy. The Smoky Quartz crystals vary from translucent to transparent.

Condition: Good

Flaws: There are two missing Smoky Quartz crystals. And although the two crystals broke at the base, it is not highly noticable.
