Offering 55 (all that I have) of these famous "etched" garnet crystals (variation Spessartine).
Etched is not quite right, because they are epitaxially grown with feldspar, which creates the breathtakingly beautiful structures, similar to how rutile and hematite sometimes grow into each other.
The mine is closed because the two brothers can no longer afford it, so I bought some of them.
Normally they are of course much more expensive than about 3 € per crystal.
Sizes are about 1-2 cm, weight 57 grams or 285 ct.
Origin is the Navegadora claim, Conselheiro Peno in Brazil.
