Item Description
A showy, excellent and rare old-time combination from this historic mining district and the Bob Trimingham Collection. A highly lustrous, sharp, 1.0 cm garnet dodecahedron with flashes of golden-yellow translucence is surrounded by lustrous, translucent, mint-green to colorless helvine tetrahedrons on gneiss matrix. Rare on the market in this combination and difficult, therefore, to value.
