Superb single crystal of grass-green Garnet var. Grossular var. Chromian. The crystal is gemmy and 9mm big. It has grass green color, due to Chromium. With rhombic dodecahedral sharp crystallization, good luster and irresistible color. Very hard to find one of these now – the mine is closed.  For references see the 2013 issue of The Mineralogical Record vol. 44, # 4. In very good condition – some micro nicks and back side contact. On acrylic base.

Wonderful!
