Wushan Mine, Tongbei, Zhangzhou, Fujian, China
description:
The top of this 18.0 x 11.0 x 6.0 cm matrix is covered with blocky crystals of orthoclase. Scattered throughout our brilliant red glassy partly gemmy crystals of spessartine to 0.7 cm in size and small smoky quartz crystals. Very minimal micro-chipping present, overall I think in very good condition. The matrix has been shaped with a trim saw. Very good color contrast making for an attractive large cabinet piece. Shipping weight: 2.09 pounds. Ex Jordi Povill collection.
