Description

This relatively recent new locale has produced the largest non-spessartine garnets from this part of the world I have seen.  The colour of this fine hessonite garnets is peachy orange. The crystals are well defined-sharp, multifaced and partially glassy. A good specimen with mostly undamaged crystals. Some of them remind me of the great specimens from Jeffrey Mine.
