The diameter of this spessartine sphere is a considerable 2.8 cm. It is a rather rough crystal but as far as one can tell it's flawless with only a contact at the backside. Some direct illumination reveals the cherry-red color that's strong near the surface. The single crystal is set on a white piece of albite. Around the spessartine's base is a collar of muscovite with translucent green micro-crystals, presumably andradite. Attractive composition meets a remarkably large main crystal in very best condition!
