Item Description

A juicy, "raspberry" grossular garnet crystal is nicely set in matrix on this showy and excellent thumbnail from Mexico. The sharp, textbook dodecahedron is 2.1 cm across, moderately translucent and this is the most desirable grossular color variation from this well-known locale. The broken crystal on the back reveals the most interesting, color-zoned growth of these crystals.
