One of a kind combo specimen of gem grass-green Garnet var. Grossular var. Chromian with Garnet var. Grossular with green Chromian phantoms. The combination on the same specimen of completely green crystals with phantom crystals is unique. The crystals at the top are very gem and clear to 1mm big. They have super deep emerald-green color, due to Chromium. With rhombic dodecahedral sharp crystallization, glassy luster and irresistible color. Some inclusions of black Chromite are seen too. The lower Grossular crystals have green cores, which are result of Chromium, surrounded by transparent colorless areas. That's why they appear brighter. Displays on both sides. For references see the issue of The Mineralogical Record vol. 44, # 4. In good condition – some contacts. On acrylic base.

Exceptional!
