"A fine example of gemmy spessartine garnets on smoky quartz from mining at Tongbei - in this case, pitch black crystals that add real drama to the contrast with the spessartines.
Note: The name garnet comes from the Latin word granatus which means "like a grain" in reference to the crystal form. There are many types of garnets as the chemistry varies widely. The name spessartine comes from the locality of Spessart, Germany. Spessartines are often brownish or brown-red." Location: Tongbei, Fujian Province, China
