Item Description

Andradite garnet specimens are rare from the famous mines at Naica. This showy and excellent combination piece is dominated by the 2.5 cm compound cluster of sharp, lustrous, olive-green, dodecahedrons. The smaller andradites and quartz points really add pizzazz and color contrast to this fine piece. The matrix is solid andradite! Ex. Consie Prince Collection (Houston, Texas), then the Dave Stoudt Collection.
