Item Description
Four, intergrown, sharp, almandine garnet dodecahedrons are nicely set atop quartz and muscovite matrix on this showy example from this well-known pegmatite mine. The lustrous crystals are up to 4.3 cm across. The mottled and layered reddish-brown crystals light up in bright light! An excellent, highly representative example of the species and locale. Ex Bob Trimingham Collection.
