Almandine Garnet in Muscovite Spruce Pine District, Avery Co., North Carolina 12.75cm x 7.87cm x .34cm Ex. Neil A. Wintringham Collection

Description/Interesting Notes: A classic example of almandine garnet in muscovite from North Carolina!!! This specimen consists of a thin section of muscovite that hosts numerous gemmy ruby red almandine garnet crystals!!! The almandine crystals exhibit an extremely compressed habit that is the result of having formed under pressure between planes of muscovite!!! This crystals are highly lustrous, GEM clear, and have exceptional, choice color!!! This specimen is UNBELIEVABLE in person!!! Simply an incredible example of this classic occurence!!! Rarely does one see almandine crystals of such size and quality in these unusual specimens!!! The crystals actually have slightly convex faces - making them appear like gemmy buttons that also act as a natural lenses!!! You can also see sharp faces on the edges of the crystals as well!!!
