Splendid small jewel of top quality Garnet var. Grossular var. Chromian. The crystals are gem and clear up to 2mm. They have deep and saturated 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. For references see the 2013 issue of The Mineralogical Record vol. 44, # 4. In very good condition – some contacts. On acrylic base.

Marvelous gem-green Garnets!
