Item Description

Gemmy and lustrous, beautiful cinnamon-orange crystals to 1.1 cm are richly and attractively clustered on matrix covered with sparkly light-green diopside crystals on this classic combination from this now-closed Canadian quarry. The grossulars have incredible luster and transparency. Bruising and periphery wear are noted at edges, but this remains a beautiful and large piece, highly representative and larger than most. Valued at $1500.
