Floater Almandine Garnets (Soregaroli Coll.)

Item Description

An impressive, lustrous floater pair of textbook almandine garnet dodecahedrons with beautiful areas of cherry-red translucence under bright light. The stepped-growth faces really add pizzazz. Large almandines of this rich carmine-red color are rare from Ontario. A fine and pristine large pair from an obscure Ontario locale, this doublet is visually impressive. A choice old specimen which he probably self-collected, from the Dr. Art Soregaroli Collection. A striking 360-degree specimen with a myriad of display possibilities, this one really has some impact in a case.
