Superb small jewels of top quality Garnet var. Grossular var. Chromian. The crystals are super gem and clear up to 3mm. They have very deep and saturated grass-green color due to Chromium. They are with rhombic dodecahedral sharp crystallization, glassy luster and irresistible color. Some small inclusions of black Chromite are seen too. Fine thumbnail from this closed mine. This is of truly superior quality – very colorful and gem. Displays all over. For references see the 2013 issue of The Mineralogical Record vol. 44, # 4. Some contacts and damages. On acrylic base.

Splendid gem-green Garnets!
