Marvelous big specimen of pink colored Grossular Garnets to 4mm attractively set with green Diopsides on white Albite base. Grossular crystals are transparent, gem quality with a superb luster and pleasing, tender pink color. Small, green Diopsides are seen all over. The pink Grossulars contrast nicely on the white background. Extremely rare pink Garnets from this great closed mine. For references see the 2013 issue of The Mineralogical Record vol. 44, # 4. In excellent condition – some outside edges contacts and one partial crack.

Exceptional pink Garnets!
