Spessartite Garnet with Smoky Quartz Cluster from Tongbei, Julian Prov., China. This material once abundant, has become increasingly rare and coveted. Fun fact, most mineral / geology people know this mineral as Spessartine Garnet, rather than Spessartite Garnet. Gem people tend to call the faceted Gems Spessartite however. As my background was on the gem side, I have always referred to it as such. 🧡 Spessartite will have all of the properties of Garnet as well as more in Melody’s book. It can be used to initiate the analytical process of the mind. Bringing precise independence in discovery and facilitating exploration within both the higher analytical and rational realms. This piece is ~ 3.75” long by 1.87” wide. $358. Please see a video in our Stories. To claim, comment or DM “Mine”. - - - #spessartine #spessartite #smokyquartz #smokyquartzcrystal #spessartinegarnet #garnet #garnetcrystal #crystalline #mineralsofig #mineralsofinstagram #mineralspecimens #mineralspecimen #crystaladdict #crystallovers #crystalcollection #mineralcollecting #garnetstevenuniverse #orangegarnet #crystalcommunity #shareyourheart #handsofspirit (at Hands of Spirit Gallery) https://www.instagram.com/p/CVjTKroLHCR/?utm_medium=tumblr
Spessartine Garnet - Shengus, Skardu, Gilgit Valley, Pakistan, 3.3 cm x 3.7 cm x 1.9 cm. Donald E Ricks collection. I purchased this ions ago from Astro Minerals. It's from the find where internally it looks like flakes and when well lit the lighting goes off like an orange disco ball. It's a stunning example of spessartine garnet. #garnet #spessartine #spessartinegarnet #spessartinegarnets #spessartite #spessartitegarnet #geology #Crystal #gemstone #rockhounds #rockhounding #geology #geologist #gemologist #mineralshow #minerals #naturalgemstone #instacrystals #crystalshop #gemshop #crystals #gemstones #gemporn #mineralporn #crystalporn #geologyrocks #fineminerals #finegemstone #crystalline #geologypage #metaphysical https://www.instagram.com/p/CcQ0Z4EPSbz/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
