Superb small jewel of Garnet var. Grossular var. Chromian. The crystals are gem and clear up to 2,5mm. They have deep and saturated grass-green color due to Chromium. The Garnets are with sharp crystallization, glassy luster and irresistible color. Some micro inclusions 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 small contacts. On acrylic base.

Splendid gem-green Garnets!
