Description:Here's a nice European Alpine "classic". One of the most recognized associations from the Alps are the beautiful green and red Diopside and Grossular combinations from Italy. This piece features dozens of sharp, lustrous, gemmy, bright, reddish-orange color dodecahedral crystals of Grossular (variety: "Hessonite") with very light green (nearly colorless) crystals of Diopside with dark bluish-green "rosettes" of Clinochlore on matrix. A good reference specimen for anyone interested in great Italian Alpine mineral specimens. This piece was collected in 1985.
