Grotta d'Oggi, San Piero, Isola Elba, Livorno, Italy - Though spessartine rapresent a classic for pegmatite areas, they have not been a frequent finding at isola Elba. Nevertheless this rock from Grotta d'Oggi shows several millimetric spessartines nicely located on the faces of the various orthoclase crystals ! the feldspars are up to 1.6 cm on the edge. The specimen has a 50 years old label that describes as "grossular" the spessartines and misspelled the name of the locality. Very peculiar old label ! Nice old timer of 5x4x3.5 cm
