Size: 4.5 × 1.1 × 2.8 inches
Weight: 6.88 oz (195 grams)
This raw mineral specimen features a beautiful arrangement of lustrous green andradite garnet crystals scattered across a contrasting dark-brown matrix. Sourced from Hezhou, Guangxi, China, this 6.88 oz piece (4.5 × 1.1 × 2.8 inches) displays sharp, well-formed dodecahedral garnet crystals with a vibrant olive-green tone.
The garnets are naturally embedded in a porous, iron-rich host rock, offering superb visual contrast and texture. The crystals are gemmy and glassy in appearance, with several showing internal zoning and bright reflections under light. This specimen provides an excellent balance of matrix and exposed crystal faces, making it ideal for both display and collection.
Andradite is a member of the garnet group and is known for its brilliance and high dispersion. Chinese andradite of this clarity and size is relatively scarce, particularly in matrix-hosted clusters like this one. It is suitable for advanced collectors, educational exhibits, and decorative mineral displays.
Aesthetic and mineralogically valuable, this garnet cluster is a fine example of nature’s precision and color.
