3.9" Spessartine Garnet & Muscovite Association - China
Here is a beautiful specimen containing pristine orange spessartine garnets and green muscovite on a feldspar matrix, collected from Fujian Province, China. Although there is one natural abrasion, the crystal is in overall great shape. The muscovite is encrusted with an undescribed green mineralization, while perfect spessartine garnets sit on top of that.
