New and original discovered in Mali for these Garnet for the least surprising. These are two varieties of Garnet, the heart rather golden color is of the Grandite (= Grossular and Andradite), and the turn black color is a Melanite, titaniferous variety of Andradite. Several hypotheses have been...

New discovery in April 2023 in Morocco. We put a question mark on Endlichite because the first analyses on these specimens reveal the absence of Arsenic. As a reminder, Endlichite is the high Arsenic variety of Vanadinite. We have the analyses on the specimens studied, we provide them of course...

This is the only specimen like this we found among the Garnets. Its well-defined form is atypical, normal, but sympathetic, and the association with Chalcedony gives a beautiful appearance to the piece.7,30 x 3,90 x 3,20 cmReference : 2432

Sapphirine is an ancient mineral described around 1920, very common in some types of metamorphic rocks. But curiously, very very rarely encountered in the state of crystals well automorphes. The first potables to be collected were found in Madagascar about 25 years ago. The largest crystals...

Several Garnet well trained on and in massive Prehnite matrix from Mali.4,80 x 4,60 x 4,40 cmReference : 2438

New discovery 2023 in Mali for this large specimen composed mainly of Garnet variety Mélanite, titaniferous variety of Andradite, black and opaque, associated with well formed Epidote crystals, as well as lighter green Titanite crystals scattered over the entire piece. A floating piece, the large...

Garnet of good size and well formed on Prehnite matrix that offers a beautiful color contrast. You can see on the right Garnet in the photo that there is a trace of Epidote that no longer exists today. Very beautiful specimen from Diakon in Mali, quality pieces with Prehnite being rather rare in...

Atypical grossular from mali with most of its opaque faces, and smaller front faces gems and shiny. We love this piece for this special feature, but also its green color and its well formed crystals. We only managed to find two pieces like this, perfectly formed and with this characteristic.4,70...
