Description

A clear, gemmy, single euhedral garnet var demantoid crystal from famous Sferlun Mine, Malenco Valley, Lombardy, Italy. I guess it was originally grown in chrysotile asbestos and is therefore a complete floater. Note the brown spot in the center of the crystal, it seems to be typical for the locality.
From an older collection which was built up in the 70's and 80's.
