Extremely rare colorless Grossular Garnets to 1mm associated with Diopside. The Garnet crystals are glassy, transparent, gem quality with superb luster and water clear. Perfect and sharp rhombic decahedral crystal habit. The Garnets are scattered on light green Diopside needles growing in sprays. The clarity and gemminess combined with the aesthetic display make it nice specimen from this closed mine. For references see the 2013 issue of The Mineralogical Record vol. 44, # 4.  In excellent condition – some small contacts. On acrylic base.

Marvelous!
