Item Description
Tremendous Garnet specimen from the well-known Aggeneys deposit - known for metallics and the occasional rhodo that is, but who knew they had garnet so good? The large main crystal is an amazing 2.7 cm, well-formed, and tranluscent under good light. The deep cinammon color is exactly what you would expect. The smaller Garnets are about .7 cm in size. gemmier, lustrous, and have a more cherry red color. They complement the main crystal beautifully. Certainly, one of thr best Garnets I have seen from this region. It is aesthetic and superb. Valued $750
