A jewel-like, isolated, perfect crystal of grossular garnet with the best sparkle and luster, leaps out to the eye on this full-sized, competition-level, thumbnail specimen. The crystal is 1.3 cm. Up close, it has mesmerizing surface patterns and linings, combined with overall exterior geometry. For color and luster, and internal brightness, it has the characteristic of the best of this material from the late 1970s into the early 1980s. This is at least that old. This is a fine, competition-level thumbnail specimen from the long-held collection of Jean Smith (founder of the Rocksmiths dealership which I grew up buying from, as did so many collectors of my own generation in the 1980s-90s).
