Description:A micro specimen of mostly pinkish "Hancockite" (now Epidote-(Pb)), which hosts very small, sharp, gemmy, light yellow color Garnet crystals. I did my best to photograph the crystals under the microscope, but this is truly a micro specimen, and the crystals are small. The piece originally came from the collection of Pat Gross to Rich Kosnar in 1991, and I have photographed Pat's hand-written label on the bottom of the micromount box.
