description:
Lustrous black well formed crystals of andradite measuring to 0.5 cm in size scattered over the front of an 8.0 x 5.0 x 1.5 cm matrix. Minimal contacting in a few areas as typical of these, I still think in very good condition. Nice large crystals for the species from this occurrence. The bottom of the matrix is sawn flat.
