Fabulous light orange colored Grossular Garnets to 11mm attractively grown on green Diopside cluster. Grossular crystals are transparent, gem quality with superb luster and pleasant color. They have rhombic dodecahedral habit with sharp crystallization. Diopsides are olive green needles grown in both directions. They are pearly lustrous, colorful and underline nicely the Grossulars. For references see the issue of The Mineralogical Record vol. 44, # 4. In very good condition – some contacts at the outside edges and the back side. On acrylic base.

Exquisite!
