Almandine Garnet in Muscovite Spruce Pine District, Avery Co., North Carolina 5.38cm x 4.09cm x .15cm Ex. Neil A. Wintringham Collection collected in 1931

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 several almandine garnet crystals!!! The almandine crystals exhibit an extremely compressed habit as the result of having formed under pressure between planes of muscovite!!! These crystals are highly lustrous, GEM clear, and have exceptional 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 are surprisingly thick and have convex faces - making them appear like gemmy buttons and the largest one actually acts as a natural lens!!! Must be seen in person to be fully appreciated!!! Good luck and be sure to check out my other exciting mineral auctions on ebay!!!
