A beautiful and eye-catching specimen featuring lustrous, well-formed andradite garnet crystals with a deep reddish-brown color and attractive natural striations. The garnets rest on a contrasting dark green matrix composed of needle-like actinolite crystals, creating excellent visual contrast. The sharp geometry, rich color, and high luster of the garnets make this piece a desirable addition to any serious mineral collection. This specimen comes from a reputable source and has not been altered or treated in any way—what you see is its natural form. The photos are taken under daylight-equivalent LED lighting to show the specimen as accurately as possible. Please note: some colors can be difficult to capture accurately in photographs. I do my best to present the specimen faithfully. All items are professionally packed and shipped with tracking. I have many years of experience in international mineral sales and strive to provide accurate descriptions and high-quality service. Feel free to reach out with any questions—I'm happy to help.
