Description/Interesting Notes:
A fantastic, old time example of almandine garnet from this historic Pennsylvania locale!!! This specimen hosts numerous dark
reddish, orange crystals of almandine garnet in micaceous matrix!!! The crystals
exhibit somewhat complex habits and range in size to 1cm!!! This specimen is way better than the pics show and displays
quite handsomely in person!!! Examples from this historic locale are quite scarce and highly sought after!!! This specimen
has an old museum label that notes the specimen was given from the collection of an A.E. Meier!!! This specimen also
has a corresponding affixed catalogue number as well!!! Classic, old time material!!!
The pics hardly do it justice!!! Must be seen in person to be fully appreciated!!!
Good luck and be sure to check out my other exciting mineral auctions on ebay!!!
STAY TUNED!!! MORE AUCTIONS WILL BE ADDED MONDAY NIGHT FOR A SPECIAL 3-DAY AUCTION, ENDING THURSDAY APRIL 18th!!!
