Item Description
Mineral specimens of any type from this obscure Peru locality are very rare and are seldom on the market. Beautiful, sharp, gemmy and lustrous, honey-brown, andradite garnet dodecahedrons are very aesthetically clustered on the quartz-rich matrix. The garnets reach 1.0 cm and the 1.1 cm, doubly terminated, needle quartz crystal set on the andradites is a SUPER accent. Choice and rare material from the Herb Obodda dealer stock. Herbs label indicates grossular, but that is incorrect.
