#60Sold
15cm x 8cm x 4.5cmex. Reg Taylor Collection
Brightly metallic, multistepping Galena is studded with deep red Spessartine Garnet crystals. The Garnets measuring to 2cm, are sharply crystallised dodecahedrons, some with modified edges. They are appear deep red with a greasy mirror-like lustre, but are actually a translucent bright orange-red when backlit. From this famous Australian locale, this is the best example of Spessartine we have had. It is virtually impossible to get an undamaged specimen, and this large, and well crystallised specimens is in excellent condition.
