Uncommon combo specimen of Garnet var. Andradite on Hedenbergite base decorated by Quartz var. Prase crystals from this classic old locality in Greece. Dodecahedral Andradite crystals to 14mm are nested on a green Hedenbergite. The Garnets are with pleasing red-brown color, very well crystallized, with sharp edges and waxy luster. The Quartz var. Prase needle crystals have light green color caused by Actinolite inclusions. Small black Hematite iron rose is seen too. Some small damages and contacts.

Superb!
