SPESSARTINE GARNET- MINAS GERAIS, BRAZIL
This is an incredible Spessartite Garnet crystals from Brazil. It is a glassy etched Spessartine Garnet floater crystal with dark orange/red coloured gemmy internals. The lustre is mirror bright on the complex stepped faces, glowing deep red when backlit, and the specimen shows terminations all the way around. A super example of a Spessartine from Navegadora Mine.
Note: A floater crystal is a crystal that formed without being attached to a host rock or matrix, and thus fully developed without any contact points. All sides of floater crystals are usually fully intact without damage being that they don't have a fractured attachment point.

Garnets species are found in many colors including red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple, brown, black, pink and colorless.Some change color from blue-green in the daylight to purple in incandescent light, as a result of the relatively high amounts of vanadium. Other varieties of color-chaging garnets exist. In daylight, their color ranges from shades of green, beige, brown, gray, and blue, but in incandescent light, they appear a reddish or purplish/pink color. Because of their color changing quality, this kind of garnet is often mistaken for Alexandrite.

Why are users outbidding themselves?
When a bid is placed, this is the maximum amount a user is willing to bid for the product. Our system will then automatically bid on that users behalf, incrementally increasing the bid to maintain their position as the highest bidder, up to the specified maximum.
When there is an icon indicating 'Auto Bid,' it means our system is actively placing bids for the user based on their maximum bid. This may appear as if users are outbidding themselves, but it's simply a result of the system updating the bid to reflect the users maximum limit.
