A cool specimen of gemmy garnet var. andradite crystals decorated with clinochlore from Arrondissement Diakon, Kayes Region, Mali. The andradite crystals to 10mm have a rich brown-orange color and sharp rhombic dodecahedral habit, combined with a strong luster. They have some gemminess. Around grow green clinochlore rosettes. Some nicks and outside edge contacts. On acrylic base.

Nice!
