Huge Almandine Garnet on Matrix from Austria (Ref: WM22-HUGAL)
Gurgler Valley, Solden, Tyrol, Austria
89mm x 90mm x 67mm
This is a single, HUGE almandine garnet crystal on a schist matrix. This crystal is 7.3cm wide, and the color is exceptional. In ambient lighting they have a burgundy color, but when light hits them they light up blood-red as in the photos. As with most Austrian Almandine Garnet specimens the faces have been cleaned & buffed. The mark on one of the front edges may be a restoration area. Sorry. This specimen has been sold.
