Item Description

Dozens of small rounded intense red colored single Pyrope Garnet crystals from the Type Locality discovered circa 1800. These specimens weigh a total of 19.50 grams. This is one of the few examples of this classic material that we've had to offer, and comes with a label from Czech mineral expert, Josef Vajdak / Pequa Rare Minerals, which immediately increases the value.
