Andradite garnet, demantoid variety

Dimensions: 2.8 x 2 cm
Provenance: Takab, Belqeys mountain, West Azerbaijan, Iran
Superb quality, an extraordinary color worthy of a uvarovite for these two demantoid garnet crystals, the largest of which measures  1.2cm. A great luminosity, even with little lighting, due to the crystal gem and its white calcite matrix. The aesthetics of the set  will delight a demanding thumbnail collector. 
 
  Dimensions without the acrylic base, which is supplied with the mineralogical specimen.
The mineral is not glued to the base
