Spessartine Locality: Nani, Loliondo, Arusha Region, Tanzania (Locality at mindat.org) Size: miniature, 3.2 x 3.0 x 2.9 cm Spessartine Garnet 44 grams. BEST TRANSLUCENCY AND INTENSE ORANGE COLOR! literal “golf ball”, sharp and equant all around. These faces are SHARP! The crystal is much more gemmy and translucent in person, and glows intense fiery orange-red when backlit strongly. For the size, this is one of the absolute best in terms of symmetry and freedom from damage, without any dings worth noting.
