A brilliant thumbnail of electric green gem garnets on matrix. For intense color and luster this is really as good as any of these can get. The largest crystal is 7mm, about the biggest size that can still have such a deep green color. Displays great, we have not seen any of this quality for many years !

Electric emerald green crystals to 5mm densly cover the matrix of this fine Canadian specimen. Chrome Grossular or Tsavorite Garnets are rare in general and even rarer in sizable specimens. This one is brilliant with the best deep emerald color and glasslike luster. Most crystals are perfect and some show phantoms of a deeper green core in a lighter green exterior.
