Description/Interesting Notes:
A fantastic example of iridescent andradite garnet from Arizona!!! This specimen consists of a fine cluster of
sharp andradite garnet crystals that exhibit a thin zone of pronounced, golden iridescence near the surface!!! The
crystals exhibit a yellowish green color with a core of dark amber brown!!! The crystals are sharp, lustrous, and
range in size to over 2.5cm!!! The crystals show marked clarity however their most striking feature is that they
literally look metallic in person!!! The crystals show a zone of pronounced golden iridescence isolated in the
first couple millimeters of their surface!!! This is a particularly fine example for the locality!!! The pictures hardly capture just how unique and impressive it is in person!!!
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 SATURDAY NIGHT FOR A SPECIAL 5-DAY AUCTION, ENDING THURSDAY SEPTEMBER 13th!!!
