Gorgeous crystals of the famous iridescent "rainbow" garnet var. andradite from Kohse mine, Tenkawa village, Japan. They have a pleasing tobacco color with razor-sharp rhombic dodecahedral habit and strong luster. With a striking and colorful natural iridescent coating. The locality is strictly prohibited for collecting so the specimens are rare. Some small damages. In a plastic box.
