Item Description

An aesthetic, well-defined cluster of four gemmy, grass-green to olive-green Andradite Garnets. The largest is about 1.1 cm, and all have good-to-excellent luster. The shape of the cluster, allowing each of the Demantoids their individuality but still grouped together, as well as the Calcite and host rock matrix it is nestled in, creates a very attractive piece. They were found in the 1990s. Ex. Charlie Key specimen.
