Item Description
A very hard to find specimen of Andradite from the Poreniver Mine in Nevada featuring a deep chocolate color with sharp, lustrous faces and textbook dodecahedral form. I obtained this piece at the Denver Show of this year, directly from the man who collected it in the field. I have only seen three Andradites from this mine, but this is a decent Garnet specimen for a collector of this kind of material.
