Almandine (ex Obodda)

Item Description

Here we have seldom seen specimen of sharp lustrous Garnet crystals on matrix from Afghanistan. There are plenty of good Garnet localities in Pakistan, but they are not nearly as common from Pakistan. This piece features fine quality, very sharp, well-formed, lustrous, deep red color trapezohedral crystals of Almandine measuring up to 1.8 cm sitting on matrix. Nearly all of the crystals are pristine, and the piece has such good balance. If you collect Garnets, this is a great piece to add not only for the quality, but the scarcity of the locality. Valued at $1200. Ex Herb Obodda dealer stock.
