Marvelous and unusually colored crystal of glassy clear Grossular Garnet. It is transparent, gem quality with superb luster. Normally these Garnets are orange but this one has uncommon intense red-brown color. Rhombic dodecahedron crystal habit with rhomboid shaped faces - classic for this locality. For references see the issue of The Mineralogical Record vol. 44, # 4. Some nicks and contacts. On acrylic base.

Splashing gem with uncommon color!
