Schorlomite Garnet

Magnet Cove, Hot Spring Co., Arkansas

1.63cm x 1.27cm x 1.08cm

Ex. Prof. E. Wm. Heinrich Collection (Univ. of Michigan)

Ex. A. E. Seaman Mineral Museum #EWH-1377


Description/Interesting Notes:

An absolutely extraordinary example of this rare garnet species from Arkansas!!! This is one of the finest type-locality examples I have seen!!! This specimen consists of a group of sharp, lustrous schorlomite garnet crystals!!! The crystals exhibit some of the complex, irregular surfaces that are much more characteristic of these old time rarities as well!!! Upon close examination with a loupe or a scope, there is some characteristic matrix in association as well!!! Also, upon close inspection one can actually see a small amount of clarity just below the crystals' surfaces!!! While the crystals are near black in color, one can see tiny flecks of dark color within!!! This specimen is from the A.E. Seaman Mineral Museum and retains an old affixed catalogue number as well as a label from the Prof. E. Wm Heinrich Collection!!! Old material!!! The pics hardly do it justice!!! Must be seen in person to be fully appreciated!!! Good luck and be sure to check out my other exciting mineral auctions on ebay!!! STAY TUNED!!! MORE AUCTIONS WILL BE ADDED SATURDAY NIGHT FOR A SPECIAL 5-DAY AUCTION, ENDING THURSDAY DECEMBER 15th!!!
