A fantastic, old time example of this very rare garnet species from Arkansas!!! Usually, these old time schorlomite crystals are
very poorly formed however this is a fantastic example of the species from the type locality!!! The schorlomite crystal has
sharply defined, lustrous faces and displays quite handsomely!!! There is some apatite and matrix in association as well (possibly some thomsonite too)!!!
This specimen is from the A.E. Seaman Mineral Museum and retains an old Prof. E. Wm. Heinrich Collection label as well!!! Rare old 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 SATURDAY NIGHT FOR A SPECIAL 5-DAY AUCTION, ENDING THURSDAY FEBRUARY 2nd!!!
