Description/Interesting Notes:
A unique and showy example of andradite garnet from California!!! This specimen hosts a striking
group of particularly sharp, brilliant, gemmy crystals prominently perched on a matrix of somewhat massive andradite (there are
several large, partial crystals present around the matrix as well)!!! These gemmy crystals have complex,
modified edges that gives them a very showy apperance in person!!! Simply gorgeous, old time material!!! This specimen
retains an old label from the Percy A. Foster Collection (1889-1968) as well!!! There is a small area of massive, olive colored vesuvianite in association as well!!!
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!!!
