Item Description

An attractive, rich and RARE matrix specimen of these beautiful demantoid garnet specimens PLUS a single topazolite as a bonus. The lustrous dodecahedrans are gemmy to translucent with beautiful emerald-green to deep green areas. The large crystal is 1.0 cm across. The intensity of the gemmy emerald-green portions of the crystals are quite eye-catching, and nearly unique for this locality. The 7 mm topazolite crystal in the smaller vug is a super accent! Very choice and rare matrix combination andradite material from this obscure locale.
