Description

Aesthetic specimen of Grossular from Turkey. This specimen is one of the best Grossular I have seen from Turkey up to now. Even the crystal is not 100% perfect it is a remarkable quality and size. The specimen was cut and renaturalised. Not made by a profi but in my mind good work. This is a showy piece for lovers of particular locations!

Please watch the video in HD to see the whole specimen!!
