Item Description

Almandine garnet crystals in green, chrome-rich muscovite sheets are RARE from this historic district. The striking paper-thin, water-clear sheet has 5 sharp sections of a gemmy orange to orange-red almandine garnets to 4 mm. Undoubtably old material, these classics are seldom seen for sale today. Ex Art Soregaroli Collection. A MUST for the locality or species collector! Value??
