ZAI2 Garnet var. Spessartine

Nani, Loliando, Arusha Region, Tanzania

5.8x 3.1x 2.4 cm

$450

A large, bright garnet specimen from the recent finds at Loliando.  The crystal is complete, damage free, and is aesthetically perched on a muscovite pedestal.

The prices on these specimens have been somewhat ridiculous, and I credit this to a small handful of dealers who inflated the prices of the initial specimens.

Either way, I was able to purchase this one at a good price, so I can pass it on. If you wanted one of these, here's your chance to get a matrix specimen for the price of a loose crystal.
