Description

A super Russian specimen with well developed multifacetted crystals of dark olive coloured Prase and red-brown crystals of glassy Andradite. The Prase is sharp edged, highly lustrous and almost pristine, despite there are some clear imperfections on the garnets,- but they are definitely not the major species. In any case a super specimen, rich of colour and contrast. This piece comes with a high quality acrylic base.
