Item Description
Choice example of the famous and highly desired Gaudefroyite/Andradite/Baryte combinations from Black Rock Mine. The Gaudefroyites are superbly lustrous, and the largest of the crystals is .7 cm long. With such luster, and so completely spread across the specimen, they really catch the eye. The deep-red Andradites provide a beautiful contrast. The Barytes, both large (1.7 cm) and small are concentrated along the bottom, and attractive.
