Fabulous orange colored Grossular Garnets to 3mm attractively grown with green Diopside. Grossular crystals are transparent, gem quality with superb luster, pleasant color and sharp crystallization. Vertically standing Diopsides add marvelous contrast. They are with less common olive-green color and have some gemminess. With such aesthetics, gemminess, glassy luster and irresistible color it is truly superb specimen. For references see the issue of The Mineralogical Record vol. 44, # 4. In excellent condition – some small nicks. On acrylic base.

Beautiful!
