Description
This translucent, deep-green to emerald-green crystal of Andradite (var. Demantoid) is 20 mm long, has well-formed complex faces, and lots of gemmy areas. The intensity of emerald-green color of the crystal is quite eye-catching, and nearly unique for this locality. This is a very good Demantoid garnet thumbnail from this Iranian find of about 2001, is a floater crystal with one very tiny point of contact, and is in excellent condition.
