Sparkling specimen of Garnet var. Grossular with up to 1mm crystals. They are with a green color, result of Chromium. Rhombic dodecahedral crystallization, strong luster and irresistible color. The crystals are gem. Delicate Diopside crystals add a nice accent. Very hard to find one of these now – the mine is inactive. For references see the 2013 issue of The Mineralogical Record vol. 44, # 4. Some contacts. On acrylic base.

Wonderful green gems!
