Item Description
A classic specimen of these well known Garnets. The piece features a predominant, attractive, sharp, dodecahedral "raspberry" color crystal of Grossular measuring 1.8 cm with a few secondary crystals on matrix from this famous locality that produced specimen in the mid-late 1990s. Good specimens are not common on the market anymore. A contact on the top corner of the main Grossular crystal keeps the piece from being 100% damage free, but these are some of the most distinctive Garnets in the world, and this is still a very nice example of this now hard to find material.
