Description

Colorful miniature group of textbook hessonite garnets, perfectly grown on the rodingite matrix. Associated, pale green to white diopside and an elongated olive green, translucent vesuvianite crystal.
Garnets are in great conditions and make a truly high quality miniature, uncommon in this quality nowadays.

Collected in the late 90s, among the best garnets I have handled from this classic Italian locale.
