Spessartine Nani Hill, Loliondo, Ngorongoro district, Arusha Region,...
Spessartine Nani Hill, Loliondo, Ngorongoro district, Arusha Region, Tanzania "A well formed large orange spessartine garnet. Specimen is from Danny Ditrin [sic]." - Rock H. Currier At least he consistently slaughtered virtually everybody's name: no special treatment from Rock! These garnets came from a serious 'hit' a few years back, that yielded some absolutely ginormous crystals of outstanding form and color. Daniel Trinchillo got some of the best and Rock got this one from him - which is saying quite a bit about how seriously good this Spessartine is. Overall Measurements: 2.6 x 2.4 x 2.4 inches (6.5 x 6.0 x 6.0 cm) Offered at no reserve Provenance: Bought from Fine Minerals International (Daniel Trinchillo) [RHC #8726, acquired May 2014] MinID 58L-GFL [Scale: 1 inch, with mark at 1 cm]
