Item Description

Two, glassy, gemmy, brownish-orange grossular garnet dodecahedrons with nifty modifed faces, to 2.8 cm, are aesthetically set on the granitic matrix. The crystals GLOW with reddish-orange gemminess and fire, under bright light! The large crystal is pristine and the smaller crystal has only a trivial termination bruise. This most excellent and uncommon specimen is from a small find in the early 1990s. Choice material from the Herb Obodda dealer stock. Valued highly.
