Item Description

Sharp, lustrous, reddish-brown andradite garnet dodecahedrons, to 1.3 cm, are aesthetically scattered on the hefty skarn matrix with sections of calcite rhombs. The andradites are slightly translucent. The couple of bruised andradites are certainly only a modest detraction to this showy and uncommon combination from this well-known copper-gold mine self-collected by Paco Gutierrez.
