This almandine crystal out of the garnet suite of Bill Larson is extremely impressive - particularly for an American garnet! It is complete and has nice sharp faces, with deep cherry-red color. Most collectors are not familiar with these Idaho garnets, impressive as they are, because they are not common on the market. This is a truly impressive example!
