Quartz (Smoky) with Feldspar, Spessartine

100 x 57 x 39 mm overall

Pale, buff-colored feldspar, to 16 x 10 x 7 mm, engulfs sharp, lustrous, light- to medium-smoky Quartz points to 27 mm long. Many translucent orange Spessartine garnets to 4 mm are sprinkled across the surface. Only one broken Quartz is hidden in the feldspars, otherwise no damage. This is a nice old piece from the original 1990s find, and the locality is now closed.
