The grossular crystals are transparent, gem quality with a superb luster and vivid color. They have a sharp crystallization. Green diopside needle crystals are seen too. For references see the 2013 issue of The Mineralogical Record vol. 44, # 4. In very good condition – some small nicks. On acrylic base.

Cool!
