Item Description

These crystals, despite their size, are still some of the darkest, richest green Chrome-bearing Grossular crystals I've seen from any locality. There are literally dozens upon dozens of very small, bright, lustrous, dodecahedral neon green Chrome Grossulars with tan colored, bladed Diopside crystals on matrix. A very attractive piece from this classic, and now defunct world locality. A great piece for any Garnet collector, or a collector of Jeffrey specimens.
