Killer and extremely rare colorless Grossular Garnets to 7mm on a base covered by Diopside crystals. The Garnet crystals are very glassy, completely transparent, gem quality with superb luster and water clear. Perfect and razor sharp rhombic decahedral crystal habit. Garnets are scattered on green Diopsides. The amazing clarity and gemminess make it remarkable specimen from this closed mine.
