Comment: The matrix is covered with small, gemmy red-orange spessartine garnets, and there are a couple of smokies here, one of which is a VERY uncommon (for these) doubly-terminated crystals that penetrates right through edge of the matrix (you can see it at bottom - the specimen is resting on one of the terminations in the pic).
