A superior example by any standard of the topazolite variety of garnet: Highlighted by a large, robust 2 cm crystal, these glassy and gemmy, cognac-colored andradite var. topazolite crystals sit on a matrix of metsomatized (metamorphosed from limestone) garnet. An elegant and superb specimen with a dominating main crystal atop, this is an important example of the species.
