Red Garnet crystal in a matrix of grey Graphite. The garnet is 6mm in diameter. These have been analyzed as mostly Almandine with a touch of Pyrope in the outer layers. These make stunning specimens due to the fact that the back of the Garnet extends out the back side of the Graphite allowing light to pass through the crystal.
