Description

Lostrous sharp edged Grossular (Hessonite) from a remote and widely unknwon location. Had to add it here. The crystal shows a good contrast with the matrix. Beside the nice aesthetic fact I never saw before a piece form that location on the market. So it is a rarity and for sure interesting for all garnet collectors as well as for lovers of italian minerals.
