RM2643   Grossular, Grossular-Andradite

Group of andradite crystals with the dominant forms of the dodecahedron, although we can observe some edges finely beveled by the trapezohedron. 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: 6.6 x 4.8 x 3 cm.
Main crystal: 10 mm.
Found in ca. 1980's.
Classic locality
