Description

A group of isolated, sharp terminated and glossy andradite crystals with dark zoning along the edges perched on elongated hedenbergite matrix. Looks great in various positions – very aesthetic! Field collecting is prohibited on Serifos, field collectors even became arrested – so all we have is material from old discoveries. No significant damages to report.
