Grossular Garnet on Diopside (classic locale)

Item Description

Gemmy cinnamon-orange grossular garnets from Eden Mills are highly desirable New England and US classics. They rate highly in the pantheon of all garnets. A 1.3 x 1.0 cm very glassy textbook dodecahedron with beautiful flashes of yellow-orange fire is dramatically set on the classic and aesthetic two-sided matrix of solid strikingly intergrown lustrous, olive-green diopside crystals. The impressive large terminated diopside on the front is 3.2 cm long. A few smaller garnets scattered about are a super accent to this outstanding and classic combination miniature from this extinct locale. The garnet GLOWS with gemminess, when backlit!
