 | "Very sharp and gemmy, deep orange crystals of spessartine to 6 MM coating the bottom half of a dark smoky quartz crystal that sits on additional smoky quartzes. Pretty stuff! Spessartine, like other garnets, forms rounded crystals with 12 rhombic or 24 trapezoidal faces or combinations of these and some other forms. This crystal habit is classic for the garnet minerals. Spessartine is formed in manganese rich metamorphic enviroments and in some granitic pegmatites. Spessartine is somewhat rare but occassionally will accompany other minerals and make a nice accessory mineral to an outstanding mineral specimen.
