Description

Very nice specimen with large pyrope grains.

This is a garnet-peridotite or eclogite from the earth's mantle, containing pyrope, chromian diopside and forsterite (olivine). Age 420 million years. Formed under high pressure whilst two tectonic plates collided. This is the most colorful and best specimen I ever had.

Ex Dr. Hartmann collection
