Description
From the amazing finds of 2009-2010, this piece features glassy and gemmy, richly green, Demantoid Garnet crystals to 7 mm across. The crystals cascade nicely across the matrix for an excellent display. They are particularly gemmy, even for this find. The beige coloured matrix was actually limestone which has been, amazingly, metamorphosed (metasomatized) into Garnet in ancient geological time. Incredible origins for a matrix Garnet specimen, and yet another reason to value this relatively new deposit so highly. It is not certain at the moment that much more can come out of here, for various reasons.
