Description

Two big, wonderful gemmy, fiery red almandine-pyrope crystals of 1.5 and 1.2 cm on graphite. Absolutely great when you put a light behind it. It's been trimmed, so that the crystals are clear from both sides and you can make it glow with backlight. Much more intense in nature.

As far as I know the combination of deep red garnets and graphite is absolutely unique worldwide.
