RM2644   Grossular-Andradite and quartz

Group of good sized andradite crystals with the dominant forms of the dodecahedron. Intense color and luster. Specimens from this mine have been analyzed indicating that it is andradite, although zonation with grossular cannot be discarded. The Roca del Turó mine is a classic of Catalan mineralogy, located at an altitude of more than 1,600 m, that mined a mineralization associated with a skarn. Specimens of this size are difficult to find.

Size: 8.4 x 5.2 x 5 cm.
Main crystal: 2 cm.
Found in ca. 1980's.
