Item Description

An large, sculptural cluster of this really good example of this rare replacement! Grossular garnets have completely replaced a former epidote crystal cluster (floater, with the largest crystal 7 cm and doubly-terminated). Later-formed diopside crystals are a super compliment to the garnets. The whole thing was encased in, and dissolved out of, calcite by the collector (Ken Hollman). In good shape and complete all around except for two small damage spots at the top right and top-left of the large crystal's termination (or this would be twice the price, as well). Ex Ken Hollman Collection. Valued at $950-1250
