Item Description

A deceptive, aesthetic and pristine floater miniature cluster of grossular garnet crystals from the Type Locality. The mottled yellow-green, glassy, partially translucent, sharp crytals are modified trapezohedrons. DECEPTIVE, in that the piece looks like three crystals in some views, but is actually only two crystals, when rotated. The large crystal is 2.8 cm. This classy, fine older piece was on display for many years at the California Pala store.
