Description
Huge crystals for the locality, this specimen features three isolated crystals to 1.5 cm frozen in matrix. Rarely do you see this size in a classic old Finland garnet. These were so rare and treasured among European collectors for hundreds of years. They seldom turn up for sale today. From the collection of Vasco Trancoso, and we sold it to him perhaps in the early 2000s after a purchase from collector Jack Halpern.

How this data is collected: Our system continuously monitors mineral listings from authorized dealer partners across the internet. We have explicit permission from all dealers whose listings we track - any dealers who have not provided specific and explicit authorization are NOT listed and NOT tracked by our system. When a previously available listing is marked as sold or removed from sale, we record this as a completed transaction. While we cannot guarantee the exact final sale price (as negotiations may occur), this data represents publicly listed prices for specimens that have transitioned from "for sale" to "sold" status. This provides valuable market insights based on observable listing behavior patterns.
