Red micro crystals forming rod-like groups in striking contrast to the matrix of yellow Ettringite crystals. Uncommonly attractive specimen of this very rare member of the Garnet group, which typically occurs as dark, unattractive specimens. With this specimen you get both rarity and beauty. This specimen was part of the special exhibit 'African Thumbnail Treasures' at the 2012 Munich mineral show.
