Exquisite pink colored crystals of Grossular Garnets to 4mm on a white matrix of Pectolite. The Grossular crystals are transparent, vitreous with superb luster and gem. Perfect rhombic-dodecahedral crystal habit with rhomboid shape faces – very nicely reflect the light. The Pectolite crystals are fibrous needles. The white base gives a nice contrast. For references see the 2013 issue of The Mineralogical Record vol. 44, # 4. Some contacts. On acrylic base.

Marvelous pink Garnets!
