Extremely sparkling small specimen of Garnet var. Grossular to 1mm crystals with very small black Chromite inclusions. The crystals are with super deep emerald green color - result of Chromium. Rhombic dodecahedral, sharp crystallization, glassy luster and irresistible color. The crystals are gem. Very hard to find one of these now – the mine is inactive.

Glowing green gems!
