In the center of the photo, a crystal of garnet (probably grossular), showing a very dark red color, that has the faces of both rhomb-dodecahedron (the rhomboid faces) and ikosi-tetrahedron. The right side of the crystal has the two faces similarly developed, while in the left part of the crystal, the development of the elongated rhomb-dodecahedron face gives a distorted, elongated image of the crystal. Collection and photo of Gianfranco Ciccolini.
