One side of this specimen is COVERED with gemmy grossular crystals to one centimeter, and the other has isolated crystals to just over one centimeter! Take your choice of which side will be the display face! The crystals show superb gemminess, luster and form. With the mine now closed, there is a rush on to grab these, so you had better move fast if you want one! 6.7 x 3.3 x 2.1 cm
