SKU: B_26_0029
A specimen of spessartine (garnet) with schorl on a light matrix (dominated by white feldspars with a quartz admixture). The composition is contrasting: red-brown garnet crystals are clearly defined against the background. The strongest accent is a larger spessartine crystal with well-defined faces and luster. Schorl occurs in the form of black, prismatic crystals.
