Garnet var. grossular

Item Description

Glassy and translucent, bownish-orange, grossular garnet crystals, to 2.5 cm across are emplaced on a garnet rich matrix (with much damage between the otherwise nice crystals). Although some of the crystals are damaged, the color, luster and size of the remaining crystals is enough to make this specimen a fascinating piece. Sadly, we do not have a specific locality but it was said to be from Afghanistan, when this was bought at a show.
