1871053

Bafoulabe Cercle, Kayes, Mali
description:
A large loose lustrous well-formed slightly translucent crystal of andradite and grossular. This came to us labeled as an andradite, I suspect it falls somewhere in the middle of the solid solution series between the two species, andradite and grossular. There are no points of attachment, this is complete all around and in good condition.
