Description/Interesting Notes:
A magnificent example of almandine garnet from Alaska!!! This specimen hosts a striking single crystal of almandine garnet prominently perched
on a schist matrix!!! The almandine crystal measures over 1.6cm and is complete and pristine all around!!! The crystal faces are sharp and glassy!!!
Most of the almandine crystals from this locality are nearly opaque and almost black in color - however this specimen exhibits significant
flashes visible even in low lighting!!! With significant backlighting one can see that this crystal is also quite gemmy and has deep cherry red color!!!
This is a magnificent Wrangell Island almandine garnet indeed!!! The pics hardly do it justice!!! Must be seen in person to be fully appreciated!!!
crystal max dimension is 1.6cm
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 NOVEMBER 18th!!!
