Novelty in the summer of 2021 and, in all probability, the best known so far for the species. The Imayoshiite occurs as numerous sharp crystals with a tabular habit and hexagonal outline, transparent and very lustrous, directly associated with crystalline Andradite that, due to its intense color, gives a good contrast to the Imayoshiite. An exceptional specimen, worthy of any museum. These specimens have been analyzed and we will send a copy of the analysis to the buyer.
