This specimen has an interesting color contrast between the peach colored Quartz crystals and the olive green colored Andradite crystals. The Quartz crystals are complex with many sub crystals parallel to the length of the crystal. These sub crystals appear to be secondary growth with the underlying main crystal having a scepter termination. The Quartz has a high luster and the Andradite a bit less so.
Condition: Excellent
Flaws: Nothing Appreciable
