Spessartine with minor Hyalite Opal
Tongbei, Yunxiao County, Zhangzhou Prefecture
Fujian Province, China
6 x 5 x 2.1 CM (cabinet)
price: $290
Bright lustrous Garnet crystals fully cover the front of this matrix plate. From an older find at Tongbei, there is some minor Hyalite opal as well, but mostly this is a Spessartine that has dozens of sharp, perfect crystals. No damage seen at 10 x magnification, the color is a dark red that is best seen with strong lighting. These represent a great value for the price as this locality had produced so many fine pieces when it was operating.
