Top quality and extremely sparkling small specimen of Garnet var. Grossular var. Chromian crystals to 3mm with very small black Chromite inclusions. The crystals are with super deep emerald green color - result of Chromium. On the back side the crystals are lighter green. Rhombic dodecahedral, sharp crystallization, glassy luster and irresistible color. The crystals are gem. The specimen displays beautifully all over 360 degree. Very hard to find one of these now – the mine is closed. This is of truly superior quality – ultimate freshness and colorfulness. For references see the 2013 issue of The Mineralogical Record vol. 44, # 4. In very good condition – some small contacts. On acrylic base.

Astonishing glowing green gems!
