Marvelous richly orange colored Grossular Garnet crystals to 12mm attractively grow on light green Diopside base. The Grossular crystals are transparent, gem quality with superb luster and very saturated dark orange color. They have sharp rhombic dodecahedral habit. The specimen has nice contrast and good focal point. For references see the 2013 issue of The Mineralogical Record vol. 44, # 4. In excellent condition – some small contacts. On acrylic base.

Splendid!
