Floater Almandine Garnet (Soregaroli Coll.)

Item Description

River Valley almandine garnets of this quality are very uncommon. An impressive, sharp, lustrous textbook almandine garnet dodecahedron with beautiful areas of cherry-red translucence, accented with a few patches platy biotite. A fine and pristine crystal from an obscure Ontario locale with a myriad of display possibilities. A choice old specimen which he probably self-collected, from the Dr. Art Soregaroli Collection.
