Item Description
A classic and well-formed, deep brownish-red almandine dodecahedron measuring a full 2.1 cm across is aesthetically set atop in greyish sparkling schist matrix. The lustrous crystal is good sized for the locality, and is sharp and smooth for a garnet crystal this size. Other crystals and crystal impressions add character to this showy piece. Ex Bob Trimingham Collection and purchased in 1966.
