About this specimen

A cabinet-size mass of olive-green grossular garnet crystals, each with sharp dodecahedral faces, with white calcite blades rising through the garnet at the lower left and silvery mica in the gaps. Please note the calcite shows interference colours in the right light.

Inner Mongolia's skarns produce grossular in this khaki-green tone in quantity; the calcite blades make this piece more sculptural than most. Heavy for its size at 600 g.

It measures 10.3 × 7.2 × 7 cm (4.06 × 2.83 × 2.76 in) and weighs 600 g (21.2 oz), a cabinet-sized piece that makes a strong centrepiece on a shelf or in a display case. Sold exactly as photographed; any known repair, mount, treatment or condition note is disclosed in this listing.

Carbonate: never clean with acid or vinegar.
