Well, I had thought I was done with spessartite shopping for a while, but admittedly, it is an addicting stone, like my cuprians, so when I saw this huge rock up for sale on Gene''s website, I went for it. It was so well priced due to the inclusions, I had to get it. I personally do not mind inclusions as long as they''re not too distracting (and these are not), and the color is good, which this stone is. It does have yellow in it, as almost all Loliondos do, but this is a vibrant colored stone, and I love it. The size is HUGE, and that''s another huge plus, as well as the great precision cutting.
Here''s the first giant picture - up close and personal. I cannot see all of these inclusions with the naked eye, but I love this picture because of the color it shows. It looks much cleaner with the naked eye. My camera really picks up all inclusions. The yellow is not overwhelming either as was the last spessartite I returned. It is definitely a primary color of orange.
