Gorgeous jewel of top quality and extremely sparkling Garnet var. Grossular var. Chromian. The crystals are ultimately gem and clear to 3mm. They have super deep bright green color, due to Chromium. Rhombic dodecahedral sharp crystallization, glassy luster and irresistible color. Delicate Diopside crystals add a nice accent. It is very hard to find one of these – the mine is inactive now. This is of truly superior quality – very fresh and sparkling. Displays on both sides. For references see the 2013 issue of The Mineralogical Record vol. 44, # 4. In very good condition – some small contacts. On acrylic base.
Exceptional gem-green Garnets – world grade quality!
