Sparkling specimen of Garnet var. Grossular var. Chromian with up to 2mm crystals. They are with green color - result of Chromium. Rhombic dodecahedral crystallization, strong luster and irresistible color. The crystals are gem. Delicate Diopside crystals add a nice accent. Small black Chromite inclusions are present as well. Displays on both sides. Very hard to find one of these now – the mine is inactive. For references see the 2013 issue of The Mineralogical Record vol. 44, # 4. Some contacts. On acrylic base.

Wonderful green gems!
