Rough spessartite crystals on quartz pendant

[ilovegemstones]

I love rough stones too. Here are rough spessartite crystals on smokey quartz. The pendant is beside two Loliondo spessartite garnets.

That's fascinating. Were the spess crystals glued onto the quartz or are they an inclusion inside the quartz?

That is awesome!

Thanks! The spessartite grew on the quartz naturally.

I found this if anyone is interested:
Specimens of red-orange SPESSARTINE GARNETS on SMOKY QUARTZ have been coming from the Wushan Spessartine Mine in Tongbei, Yun Xiao County, Zhangsho Prefecture, Fujian Province, China since about 2000. The individual garnets are often sharp and gemmy, forming as dodecahedrons.
