Item Description
A striking preferential secondary overgrowth of small lustrous andradite garnets on an impressive large sharp dodecahedron from recent finds at this remote and now-famous mine. The large crystal is lustrous, partially translucent and has rich mottled olive-green to brown color. Complete all-around and in great shape, this is a fascinating 360-degree specimen. One contacted side, with no damage, is out-of-sight in the primary display views and the attachment is on the bottom. Choice material, these came out from 2010-12. MUCH BETTER IN PERSON! valued $750
