Garnet Crystal on Hematite Matrix - One of a Kind, Large 9 In Specimen

Rough, reddish garnet growing out of shiny hematite is one of the more striking natural pairings you can add to a mineral collection.

At about 9 inches long, this one of a kind specimen reads clearly from across a room. The garnet is left raw, exactly as it formed, so you see the natural crystal faces rather than a polished shape, and the contrast between warm red and bright metallic hematite gives it depth from every angle. Set it on a mantel, inside a lit display cabinet or at the center of a shelf of rough minerals. Garnet is the January birthstone, so it suits a January birthday, and it is a strong choice for someone who prefers raw specimens to tumbled stones. You get this exact garnet on hematite specimen.

It measures about 9 by 4 by 3.5 inches. One photo pairs it with a ruler so you can judge the size.

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.
