Item Description
Sharp, lustrous, light to dark olive-green andradite garnet dodecahedrons are aesthetically stacked on matrix. The largest crystal measures 9 mm across. This showy piece is from the recently exploited (2012) skarn zone from this now well-known Inner Mongolia mining district. If you're a garnet collector, be sure to pick one of these up for your collection, as they already seem to have dried up from last year. The garnets are in great shape in the display view.
