Item Description

Striking reddish-orange translucent color on these aesthetically intergrown very sharp, highly lustrous, andradite garnet dodecahedrons from recent finds in Mali. Complete all-around and essentially pristine. Two contacts, where other crystals once lay, have no damage, per se. Every turn present a different perpsective to this very cute miniature. The crystals GLOW with rich color, when back lit! This is top percentile color for the species and locale. Choice material from the Joe Lobell Collection.
