5.50 ct. Spessartite in Obisidian

A highly unusual inclusion gem material that we can just about guarantee you won't see elsewhere.  What might at first glance appear to be a simple piece of smoky Quartz is actually faceted Obsidian that holds a further surprise.  Can you just see them in the photo?  Small, well formed, bright orange crystals of Spessartite Garnet seem to float freely through the gem.  Sometimes alone, sometimes in clusters - we have never seen anything quite like this before.  Interesting and quite rare.
