Item Description
Significant, and impressive, large cluster of lustrous Andradites. The Demantoids have a deep green color and are translucent to gemmy. The cluster is almost entirely Garnet, and the largest of them is over 2 cm across. This is one of the richest such examples we have seen, and it is a huge composite crystal for the deposit, or for ANY locaiton for this species. It glows when backlit and is much better in person. Valued $900-1000
