Item Description
A sharp and aesthetic floater specimen of three tightly-intergrown, lustrous crystals of grossular garnet from Pakistan. This specimen came out of the personal garnet suite of collector/dealer/miner Bill Larson and was on display for many years at the Fallbrook store. The color is a rich, deep olive green, and the faces show fine luster. Complete all-around and nearly pristine, having only trivial edgewear. Classic, seldom-seen material from this locale.
