From West Anatolia, Turkey
10*12*6cm
640gram
This striking Melanite Garnet specimen comes from West Anatolia, Turkey, a region known for its complex geology and diverse mineral formations. Melanite is the rare black variety of andradite garnet, valued for its deep, opaque color and well-defined crystal forms.
The specimen displays naturally formed garnet crystals with a rich black tone and a subtle vitreous luster that becomes more noticeable under light. Its strong geometric crystal structure reflects the classic garnet habit, making it an excellent example for serious mineral collectors and display enthusiasts.
Collected directly from the field and left completely natural, this piece has not been altered or treated. Specimens like this from West Anatolia are becoming increasingly difficult to source, adding to its appeal as both a collectible mineral and a distinctive display piece.
A genuine and authentic Turkish Melanite Garnet — ideal for mineral collections, cabinets, or as a unique geological conversation piece
