“Very unusual and unique demantoid garnet pseudomorph after fossilised coral from Antetezambato, Madagascar. The coral shape is obvious, with good green color, fairly gemmy.
Dimensions: 2.4 x 2.0 x 1.7cm. Weight: 5.31grams
It seems to be the only one pseudomorph of this type mined so far.
Mined in April 2010. No more mining in the pocket where it has been found.
