Geologically, the area is characterized by rugged Precambrian basement rocks, including gneiss and schist, cut by complex pegmatite dikes and locally overlain by younger Tertiary volcanic tuffs and sedimentary deposits.
A grouping of semi lustrous crude almandine crystals. Complete all around and in good condition.
