Andradite (var: "Demantoid") (2010 find)

Item Description

I cannot say for certain if there will be more of these pieces, but this is a great opportunity for Garnet collectors to purchase a fine quality display specimen of this highly sought after variety of Andradite. Please note that under halogen lights, the crystals appear a bit ligher in color, but under mercury bulbs, the color is very intense! This attractive miniature specimen features many sharp, GEM/gemmy, rather lustrous, yellow-green modified dodecahedral/trapezohedral crystals of Demantoid with the largest crystal measuring 6 mm on matrix. Some of the crystals are transparent in areas. Priced at $650.
