Superb quality jewel of Garnet var. Grossular to 1,5mm with vivid green phantoms and decorated by Pectolite. The Grossular crystals are gem, with rich grass-green cores, which are result of Chromium, surrounded by transparent, colorless areas. They have rhombic dodecahedral sharp crystallization, glassy luster and irresistible color. White Pectolite needle blades grow above and add nice contrast.  For references see the 2013 issue of The Mineralogical Record vol. 44, # 4. Some contacts. On acrylic base.
