Andradite var. Demantoid (Charlie Key Coll.)

Item Description

Luscious emerald-green, this translucent elongated knob of intergrown andradite variety demantoid crystals glows when backlit. It is very fine for the locality, from Charlie Key's choice collection of worldwide miniatures and thumbnails. The euhedral crystals have dodecahedral faces. The intensity of the emerald-green portions of the crystal is quite eye-catching, and nearly unique for this locality. A exquisite 360-degree specimen, that is nearly pristine, with only very trivial lower periphery wear. valued $750-1000
