Description

One of the finest miniature examples of this material I have seen! These grossular from Veracruz range in color from a pale green to almost lemon yellow. This specimen tends more toward the yellow coloration when viewed in sunlight. Great luster and composition are also highlights of this specimen. Aside from a contact point on the back side of the large crystal, this piece is quite damage free. Largest crystal measures 10 x 12 MM.
