Item Description

The Mir pipe in Siberia is known for some of the world's rarest gem crystals in matrix - diamonds, formed 360 million years (approx.) ago and within billion year old kimberlite matrix. However, this specimen has a GARNET associated with it, something we have never seen before. This diamond is a sharp, 4 mm octohedron. The Pyrope Garnet is 3 mm. They are small but certainly eye visible, and the contrast immediately draws attention. This is a terrific diamond specimen, regardless of whether it is also a competitive display thumbnail for a matrix diamond, as it was for Alex.
