Andradite garnet and Epidote on Plagioclase pseudomorph after Analcime (?) - Agoudim, Imilchil, High Atlas, Morocco - Height: 4 cm - Width: 3 cm- 28 g

Selected by Luca Esposito

Watch a video of this specimen by following the Vimeo link below: https://vimeo.com/944039906 Here is nice andradite garnet from Imilchil, displaying dodecahedral-trapezohedral crystals with delicate silky lustre, in combination with green epidote and white plagioclase feldspar. The plagioclase retains an altered roughly round crystal shape: possibly leucite or analcime, that was subsequently totally pseudomorphed to plagioclase (most probably close to the calcitic end-member anorthite). A quality Moroccan garnet, carefully selected from a 2022-2023 discovery.
