Item Description
A very good sized, sharp, well-formed, orange color dodecahedron with trapezohedral modifications of Grossular from the Mana Mine in Pakistan. The crystal is not a complete trapezohedron as it was clearly separated from the host rock during extraction. It still stands as one of the largest crystals from this locality that I have seen. A good reference crystal for any Garnet collector, or a collector of Pakistan minerals.
