Almandine - Granatenkogel north slope (Granatenkopf north slope; Granatkogel north slope; Granatenwand), Austria
specimen
Almandine
Description
A huge garnet out of the Wein Collection, which was heavy on interesting and sometimes rare Alpine specimens of all sorts. This whopper 5-cm garnet sits smack in the middle of a carefully-trimmed schist matrix. It has a couple of little corner contacts, which are pretty insignificant in the context of an Alpine garnet crystal of this size!
