Garnet var. Almandine – Serrote Redondo, Lavrada, Paraiba, Brazil
 Former Ludwig Fruth Collection, acquired in 1973
 Breathtaking transparency!
 Cabinet specimen with two rhombic dodecahedral almandine crystals of intense dark red color and good luster. The great surprise of this specimen is revealed in direct transmitted light. The crystals exhibit astonishing cut quality. A true gem!
 The crystals, up to 20 mm in size, stand out beautifully from the matrix.
 From a historical find from the 1970s.
