Item Description
These specimens are some of the most easily distinguishable piece from anywhere in the United States, but they are hard to find on the market. Their distinctive brownish-bronze hue of the Andradites and the green of the Malachite makes for a great combo! How often does one fine Garnet with Malachite from any locality? The radiating groups of green Malachite are actually coating a layer of rich blue Chrysocolla. This specimen is a nice piece of this attractive material from the San Pedro Mine, and if you collect Garnets, you need one of these in your collection.
