Gorgeous jewel of one dominant 12mm colorless and gem Garnet var. Grossular with green hue due to the Diopside base behind. The crystals are super gem and water clear. It has very sharp rhombic-dodecahedral habit and glassy luster. Around are grown small green Diopsides that add a nice contrast. Top quality Garnet from this closed mine. For references see the 2013 issue of The Mineralogical Record vol. 44, # 4. Some damages and contacts. On acrylic base.
Astounding!
