Description

A fantastic large Almandine from that location. The crystal is in a very good condition and shows a rest of matrix. In my mind this should not be removed to understand the origin. Beside the size the crystal has an interesting shape. The crystal is very slim in one direction but has all crystal faces in good quality.
