Description

A sharp 2.0 cm grossular crystal stands out in this pale matrix. The grossular is lustrous and under strong light it is slightly translucent. The crystal is dodecahedral with trapezoderal modifications. A couple of small growth hollows at the back of the crystal. In very good condition, there is a chip in the back corner and the underside at the back is incomplete, but not visible as displayed. Nice contrast and a really nice crystal with the modifications.
