Dark red crystallized garnet.
Garnets are rock-forming minerals, which is why they can be found in igneous, metamorphic (indicator of medium to high-grade metamorphism) and sedimentary (detrital component) rocks, as well as an indicator of calc-silicate hydrothermal alterations related to Skarns.
The mineral includes a label with the name and origin and is attached to a 4 cm square cardboard box.
*The price is per unit (a single cardboard box of the four shown in the image)
Since the minerals are natural, you will receive a piece similar to the one in the photograph. The minerals come in cardboard boxes and are glued to a porex base with hot silicone; these can be removed using ethyl alcohol without damaging the mineral. The size is approximate.
