Marvelous specimen of pink colored Grossular Garnets to 3mm attractively set with green Diopsides on white Albite base. Grossular crystals are transparent, gem quality with good luster and pleasant, tender pink color. Small green Diopsides are seen on both sides. The pink Grossulars contrast nicely on the white background. Extremely rare pink Garnets from this great, closed now mine. For references see the 2013 issue of The Mineralogical Record vol. 44, # 4. In excellent condition – some outside edges contacts. On acrylic base.

Splendid pink Garnets!
