Description

Black, complex, elongated, partly lustrous andradite crystals up to 35 mm on matrix from Fatoumanéné, Mali. Rather unusual, elongated crystals, with interesting growth patterns under the outer layer of the crystals, visible from the side of the specimen. Rather well-developed crystals with some imperfections but still very interesting because of their unusual habit.
