Fabulous orange colored Grossular Garnets to 8mm attractively grown with green Diopside and Pectolite. Grossular crystals are transparent, gem quality with a superb luster and a pleasing color. Rhombic dodecahedral habit with sharp crystallization. Green Diopside crystals add a marvelous contrast. Uncommon addition is white Pectolite needles. In some Grossular crystals are seen inclusions of Pectolite. With such amazing aesthetics, gemminess, glassy luster and irresistible color it is truly superb specimen. For references see the 2013 issue of The Mineralogical Record vol. 44, # 4. In excellent condition – some small nicks.
Exquisitely beautiful!
