Almandine on Schist
Otz Valley, North Tyrol
Tyrol, Austria
8.7 x 6.3 x 4.9 CM (cabinet)
price: $340


A sharp 3.8 CM Garnet is nicely perched on a silver- green Schist from this classic old locality. The Garnet is in excellent condition, is well exposed (and absolutely not "glued on"!). This is an old specimen yet it has not been enhanced as was often done years ago with faces polished or even painted on to add color. This is fully natural and quite esthetic, with no damage or edge wear.
