This 26mm x 23mm x 23mm specimen from San Pedro Mountain features a remarkably unique and aesthetic cluster of smaller, sharply formed rainbow garnets, each catching light with vivid golden and spectral diffraction across their faces. The iridescence radiates in tight bands, shifting through electric hues as the specimen is turned in hand.
The crystals are perched beautifully atop a sparkling druzy matrix, adding a layer of brilliance and texture that enhances the overall composition. The visual contrast between the glittering base and the gemmy garnets makes this piece truly special—more sculptural than typical, and with exceptional natural balance.
A superb and distinctive example of this rare phenomenon from one of the world’s only localities for iridescent andradite.
