Cut small jewels of sparkling Garnet var. Grossular var. Chromian. The crystals are gem, around 1mm big. They have green color, due to Chromium. Dodecahedral sharp crystallization, strong luster and irresistible color. Clinochlore form the base. Very hard to find one of these now – the mine is inactive. This is fresh and sparkling.  For references see the 2013 issue of The Mineralogical Record vol. 44, # 4. In very good condition – some small contacts. On acrylic base.

Fine gem-green Garnets!
