Newest find! Extremely rare Japanese Rainbow garnet General. The garnet crystal has strong play of color like peacock ore, but some crystals have stronger play of colour like Opal. This garnet is domestically called super rainbow garnet because of the stronger play of colour. The strength of play of colour varies depending on viewing angles. The characteristics of iridescence are quite similar to the other iridescent minerals. This iridescent garnet was found early 2004 in Tenkawa village, Yoshino district, Nara Pref. Japan. And now, the vein is closed and the price is quickly going up. Most dealers stopped selling this garnet. No chance to buy this garnet out side Japan except for this auction. Item Description Please note, the photographs may have not accurate viewing angles. But every item has been carefully chosen to be well balanced without large differences of iridescence between lots.

This is a wonderful blue crystal cluster of crystal size 3 to 11mm. Excellent blue and green and some reddish orange sparcle on faces. A few examples are shown in photos. Very special mineral specimen for any collecter.Excellent under room and sun light. Size: Crystal : 12(w)x11(d)x10(h)mm, Weight : 7.6ct read more
