A pleasing specimen of gem hessonite garnets decorated with clinochlore from Bellecombe, Aosta Valley, Italy. The hessonite crystals to 2 mm are gem with a rich and saturated orange-brown color. They have a sharp crystallization with strong luster and nicely reflect the light. Green clinochlore rosettes add a nice accent. In very good condition – some outside edge contacts. On acrylic base.

Wonderful!
