2" Lustrous Andradite (Topazolite) Garnets in Actinolite - Iran
Here is a fascinating, 2" wide specimen of andradite (topazolite) garnets on actinolite, collected from the Khamir Mountains in the Hormozgan Province of Iran. Comes with an acrylic display case.
Topazolite is an andradite garnet named for its resemblance to the mineral topaz. This likeness is only visual: the two are chemically unrelated. This garnet variety is typically a bright, translucent yellow or yellow-green color. High quality topazolite is mined in Mexico, Italy, and Arizona.
