Item Description
A cute and rare combination thumbnail from this obscure San Benito County locality and the Bob Trimingham Collection. Sharp, lustrous, translucent, olive-brown melanite garnet dodecahedrons are aesthetically clustered on the edge of a glassy, tranlucent, off-white, terminated titanite blade. Rare in this combination quality and seldom on the market.
