Description

Fine miniature with sharp and lustrous, dodecahedral crystals of andradite on hedenbergite matrix. A classic from Seriphos. We will never see new things coming from this island anymore as collecting has been restricted from local authorities since a few years and it now is a permanent situation. So sadly, the Seriphos minerals that are on the market now are the last available pieces you will see unless some collection is sold.
