Grossular var. Hessonite on Clinochlore
Bellacombe, Chatillon
Aosta, Italy
7.3 x 6.7 x 4.1 CM (cabinet)

Pre Tucson
A fine Italian Garnet specimen with two generations of Grossular on sharp Clinochlore crystals. The smaller Grossular are gemmy red and very bright in color. The larger Garnets are a deeper orange to brown color and also very lustrous. In very good condition overall, there are some broken areas but only on the outer perimeter. Classic and pretty.
