Killer small specimen of Garnet var. Grossular var. Chromian to 1,5mm. The crystals are with super deep emerald green color - result of Chromium. With trapezohedral habit, sharp crystallization, glassy luster and irresistible color. The crystals are gem. Some Diopside is seen too. 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. In good condition – some contacts. On acrylic base.

Gorgeous green gems!
