Description

I never saw Almandine from Bretagne somewhere on the market. The offer consists of one matrix piece and one single crystal. The single crystal has exceptionell shape and condition. The crystal on matrix has of course the same shape but is not so sharp edged. Both are in a very good condition. A fine piece from a rare location.
