Gorgeous small jewel of top quality Garnet var. Grossular var. Chromian. The crystals are gem and clear to 1mm. They have very deep and saturated grass-green color due to Chromium. Rhombic dodecahedral sharp crystallization, glassy luster and irresistible color. Small Diopside crystals add a nice accent. Some small crystals of black Chromite are seen too. Fine thumbnail from this closed mine. This is of truly superior quality – very colorful and gem. For references see the 2013 issue of The Mineralogical Record vol. 44, # 4. In superb condition.
