10TR46: Almandine

Very sharp dodecahedral Almandine crystals, one of them dominant, lustrous, and brown in color with reddish tones. The crystals sit in a metamorphic rock matrix formed of innumerable Muscovite crystals. Contrary to the common practice with almandines from this region, the crystals in this piece are not glued, nor have they had their faces retouched or polished, so their natural surface is preserved. A classic Tyrolean specimen.

HPB37CD2: Almandine

Well-profiled rhombododecahedral crystal of Almandine, translucent, very shiny, and on a Mica matrix. Almandines do not usually have very showy colors, but this one, from an old Spanish collection, is very striking due to the intensity of its color, likely related to its Alpine origin.
