Pleasing orange colored Grossular Garnets to 3mm attractively grow on green Diopside. Grossular crystals are transparent, gem quality with superb luster and nice color. Trapezohedral habit with sharp crystallization. Diopside crystals are elongated and grow freely in all directions. That  adds a nice contrast. For references see the 2013 issue of The Mineralogical Record vol. 44, # 4. In very good condition – some small damages. On acrylic base.

Superb!
