MAIL ANDRADITE GARNETS SPECIMENS

Andradite is a species of the garnet group, and although not as well known as some other types of garnets such as almandine or pyrope, it is the most lustrous. It tends to be opaque, so most andradite does not make for good gemstones. The deposits discovered in 1994 in the Kayes region of Mali produce many of the commercially available andradite garnets available today.
