Item Description
Large cluster of grass green, lustrous Andradite Garnets from the famous Tubussis 22 Farm locality. Interestingly, the Demantoids range from a more classic, euhedral habit to crystals that are elongated and flattened. From the side, the elongated Andradites almost have the appearance of spinel twins, though they are not. The crystals are highly translucent to gemmy, with excellent luster on all the crystal faces. A more unusual, but high quality, Demantoid.
