Item Description
A classic and well-formed, deep brownish-red dodecahedron measuring a full 2.0 cm across is nestled in greyish sparkling schist matrix. The crystal is good sized for the locality, and is sharp and smooth for a Garnet crystal this size. Seldom are these classic Garnets offered on the market, and are typically only seen in older collections or museums. If you're a Garnet collector, do not miss out on picking up this attractive display specimen of this somewhat hard to find material.
