A large almandine garnet in graphite matrix from the Red Embers Mine in Erving, Massachusetts. 1.48 lbs with vivid ruby-red garnet crystals studding the dark graphite surface. Each garnet is a natural dodecahedron — the characteristic 12-faced crystal form — emerging from 400-million-year-old metamorphic rock.
Red Embers Mine specimens are increasingly scarce as the deposit diminishes. This is a substantial piece with exceptional garnet coverage and quality — a serious collector's specimen.

About Red Embers Mine Garnets
Almandine garnet (Fe₃Al₂Si₃O₁₂) forms under high-pressure metamorphic conditions deep within the earth's crust. At the Red Embers Mine in Franklin County, Massachusetts, these garnets crystallized within graphite schist during the Acadian orogeny approximately 400 million years ago. The contrast between deep red almandine and metallic graphite makes these among the most visually striking specimens in American mineralogy.
