Gorgeous jewel of top quality and extremely sparkling Garnet var. Grossular var. Chromian. The crystals are ultimately gem and clear to 3mm. They have super deep grass-green color, due to Chromium. Rhombic dodecahedral sharp crystallization, glassy luster and irresistible color. Small Diopside crystals add a nice accent. It is very hard to find one of these – the mine is inactive now. This is of truly superior quality – very fresh and sparkling. Displays beautifully from many sides. For references see the 2013 issue of The Mineralogical Record vol. 44, # 4. In very good condition – some contacts.

Exceptional gem-green Garnets!
