Andradite on Hedenbergite (classic locale) Ted Bartels Coll.

Item Description

Sharp andradite garnet dodecahedrons are richly and aesthetically clustered atop the sculptural large matrix of diverging sprays of green hedenbergite lathes on this showy and excellent combination from this famous locale. The lustrous crystals, to 1.8 cm on the diagonal, have fine mottled rich orange-brown color. All of the crystals have some translucence, but some of the smaller crystals really light up with bright orange-red color, when back lit. Classic and excellent combination material from the Ted Bartels Collection. The piece displays well without aid.
