Tiny micro-chip is present to the hematite at lower left side; this only visible to my eyes with a 10x loupe. Overall in superb condition. Under magnification the andradite is quite gemmy.

Beautiful glassy colorless gemmy transparent calcite crystals forming a 8.6 x 6.0 x 5.3 cm cluster without matrix. Very neat crystallography on this one with a first generation scalenohedral calcite crystal, this studded by a later generation rhombohedral crystal, with the first generation crystal termination coming through the later rhombohedral crystal. Complete all around; I can find no points of attachment. I can find very tiny chipping along one crystal edge, this only seen by my eyes with a 10x loupe. I think that overall this is in excellent condition damage-wise. Ex Lloyd Tate collection. Ref: The Mineralogical Record (2001): 32: 3; World of Stones 4/94.
