A large, complete, equant crystal of almandine, measuring 6 cm x 6 cm, is aesthetically perched on a silvery matrix of mica schist. The garnet exhibits classic dodecahedral form along with a deep reddish-brown color. SUPERB piece with no "traditional" polishing done on the faces as is so often the case with this old material 7.6 x 6.1 x 4.7 cm
