Andradite (Melanite)

Size: 3.0 x 2.0 x 1.8 cm

Small andradite garnets of the variety Melanite cover this thumbnail speciman. The crystals seem to be in very good shape, are black, shiny, with no transparency. Matrix is an offwhite material. Nice shape for a speciman.

From: San Benito, California

Purchased from Jerry's Agate Shop, January, 1991 for $4.00. This was a steal.
