Description/Interesting Notes: A huge, extraordinary example of intense ORANGE spessartine garnet from the legendary find at Loliondo!!! This specimen came from a small stash of CHOICE specimens that were tucked away at the height of the find at Loliondo!!! Although this locality was prolific for a brief time, the very finest speci...mens were in short supply and quickly dissappeared from the market!!! This specimen is a complete floater with sharp, lustrous faces and gemmy clarity!!! The crystal has good symmetry and almost displays like a crystal-model in person!!! Aside from a tiny bit of reddish muscovite included in one area, the majority of the crystal is quite gemmy!!! This specimen is complete and in magnificent condition all around!!! Specimens of this size and quality were scarce and almost instantly disappeared into elite collections!!! This specimen displays stunningly in person - it is a real screamer!!! Don't miss out on this choice and valuable beauty from the legendary find at Loliondo!!!The pics hardly do it justice!!! Must be seen in person to be fully appreciated!!!Good luck and be sure to check out my other exciting mineral auctions on ebay!!!
