Item Description

Intergrown, gemmy, apple-green andradite garnets are nicely set atop quartz crystal matrix. The two, large, intergrown crystals are 1.4 cm across and have good luster. The shape of the cluster, allowing each of the demantoids their indiviuality but still grouped together, as well as the white matrix they are nestled on, creates a very attractive piece. Ex Charlie Key dealer stock. They were found in the 1990s.
