Superb specimen of grass-green Garnet var. Grossular var. Chromian. The crystals are gem, up to 5mm big. They have rich grass green color due to Chromium. With rhombic dodecahedral sharp crystallization, glassy luster and irresistible color. Small Clinochlore rosettes grow above. Some light green Diopside is seen too. Very hard to find one of these now – the mine is closed. For references see the 2013 issue of The Mineralogical Record vol. 44, # 4. Some nicks and contacts. On acrylic base.

Fantastic!
