Andradite var. Topazolite (New Find - rare locale)

Item Description

A striking and exceptional miniature from a New Find of this rare andradite varietal from this very obscure Iran locality. The glassy, gem dodecahedrons, to 1.6 cm, have rich golden-yellow to honey-brown color and cover the solid granular topazolite matrix. Exciting material. The crystals in the cluster are pristine and the bit of trivial periphery wear has very minimal impact to the fine quality. For the size, this is a most excellent example from the small lot we purchased
