Description

A very nice small mineral combination from China. The set consists of three specimens with sizes listed individually. The pieces show smoky quartz crystals associated with beautifully bright orange garnets, accompanied by beige feldspar and small muscovite crystals.

The contrast between the dark smoky quartz and the glowing garnets creates a very attractive appearance. A charming and colorful miniature combination piece.
