{"product_id":"galena-garnet-calcite-quartz","title":"Andradite Garnet, Calcite \u0026 Quartz","description":"\u003cp data-start=\"60\" data-end=\"512\"\u003eThis mixed mineral specimen from Inner Mongolia features metallic cubic Andradite Garnet crystals layered over a natural Red Garnet matrix, with contrasting Quartz points and subtle Calcite growth. The dark, geometric Garnet creates a structured surface, while clear Quartz and pale Calcite crystals interrupt the metallic sheen with brightness and texture. The exposed Red Garnet base adds warmth and depth, grounding the piece both visually and structurally.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"514\" data-end=\"905\"\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eAndradite garnets from the Huanggang Mine in Inner Mongolia, China, are renound for their lustrous, often black faceted garnet.  This specimen is growing with quartz over a red garnet base. The result is a layered mineral landscape where each phase of growth remains visible, preserving the geological sequence in a single sculptural form.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"907\" data-end=\"1145\"\u003eGarnet is often associated with grounding and stability while Quartz amplifies clarity. Together, this combination is thought to balance strength with precision and calm awareness.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1147\" data-end=\"1211\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1147\" data-end=\"1161\"\u003eDimensions\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"1161\" data-end=\"1164\"\u003eApprox. 7 × 3.5 × 4.5 inches\u003cbr data-start=\"1192\" data-end=\"1195\"\u003eWeight: 1.7 kg\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1213\" data-end=\"1479\" data-is-last-node=\"\" data-is-only-node=\"\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1213\" data-end=\"1224\"\u003eDetails\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"1224\" data-end=\"1227\"\u003eMinerals: Garnet, Quartz\u003cbr data-start=\"1277\" data-end=\"1280\"\u003eOrigin: Inner Mongolia, China\u003cbr data-start=\"1309\" data-end=\"1312\"\u003eFormation: Hydrothermal multi-mineral association\u003cbr data-start=\"1361\" data-end=\"1364\"\u003eColour: Metallic silver-grey with clear Quartz, pale Calcite, and deep garnet tones\u003cbr data-start=\"1447\" data-end=\"1450\"\u003eFinish: Natural, raw specimen\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Atelier Lithic","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47555315007700,"sku":"0923","price":1444.44,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0801\/9021\/0260\/files\/8D4E61E6-C004-4B1D-A0C1-E862A825BFC8_1_201_a.heic?v=1771119202","url":"https:\/\/www.atelierlithic.com\/products\/galena-garnet-calcite-quartz","provider":"Atelier Lithic","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
