Raw Garnet Crystal on Hematite Matrix - One of a Kind, Large 8 x 4 x 4 In

Collecting minerals for the way they look straight out of the ground? This raw garnet on hematite matrix belongs on your list.

This large garnet on hematite piece is about 8 inches long and a full 4 inches deep, which gives it a chunky, solid profile that holds its own on a bookshelf, a mantel or an office credenza. Reddish garnet crystals sit in shiny hematite, and the two contrast nicely under a lamp or a small display light. Nothing here has been polished or shaped, so you are looking at a natural specimen. If you are shopping for a January birthday, garnet is the birthstone for that month, and a raw piece of this size feels more personal than a small tumbled stone. The specimen in the photos is the one you will receive.

Size: about 8 inches long, 4 inches wide and 4 inches deep. One photo shows it next to a ruler.

About Garnet and Hematite

Garnet is a group of silicate minerals rather than a single mineral. It is most often red but also occurs in orange, green, yellow, purple, black and brown, and it is the birthstone for January. Hematite is iron oxide, silver gray to black with a metallic luster when polished, and it always leaves a reddish streak.

Stone Meaning: Garnet is traditionally associated with passion and devotion.
