This is a natural andradite garnet crystal cluster, offered as an authentic collector mineral specimen.
The specimen consists of multiple intergrown andradite garnet crystals, forming a compact cluster with good crystal definition and natural luster. The crystals display brownish to yellow-brown tones, typical for andradite, with reflective crystal faces that create strong visual contrast against the darker matrix.
Andradite garnet clusters are appreciated by collectors for their robust crystal habit, durability, and clear expression of garnet crystal morphology. Clusters of this size are well suited for cabinet collections and educational displays.
