Large specimen composed of approximately 5mm-10mm thick 'shells' of large Andradite crystals, cast-like in form.
The interiors (backside of specimen) have psuedomorphed to Epidote and Quartz with much of the Quartz elongating out
into crystals and partial crystals. Large, unusual, and interesting example.
