Description

From the Bodo Moniac collection comes this nice example of in part translucent dark reddish-brown hessonite on matrix labeled to be from Unterbichl, Tyrol. The sample most probably comes from the Gumpachkreuz in the Dorferbach valley, Prägraten, Tyrol, which is north of Hinterbichl. I presume that Moniac got the name slightly wrong.
