For those who helped create the Genki Dama
The beautiful and classic Garnets from the Red Embers Mine in Massachusetts are some of the most distinctive and alluring examples of any species of Garnet from anywhere. When you view these specimens in reflected light, the crystals might appear to be black and opaque, which makes them blend in with the dark grey Graphite matrix, but when they are backlit, they show an amazingly rich glowing RED color internally, as they are quite gemmy inside! This piece is a great example of said material featuring several fairly sharp, trapezohedral crystals measuring up to 1.7 cm across exposed from within the massive Graphite matrix. You can see from the photos that the internal gemminess and wonderfully strong red color are clearly evident on this specimen. No damage that I can see. A wonderful example of these fantastic Garnets. The piece comes with a label from Jason Baskin, who along with Kyle Baskin and Patrick Murphy, collected these specimens over the years. If you're a Garnet collector or a fan of minerals from New England, do not miss out on this wonderful and eye-catching large cabinet sized piece of this classic material. For reference, the entry on mindat.org for this locality states that this locality is now closed, so it's possible we may never seen them again.
