description:
The top side of this 11.0 x 7.5 x 1.5 cm matrix is richly scattered with brilliant black sparkling crystals of andradite to 0.4 cm. Very minimal micro-chipping present, this is a good richly crystallized example for this locality that I think is in very good condition. The matrix on the bottom has been sawn flat.
