A thin plate of intergrown, glassy and gemmy, olive-green, demantoid crystals! The crystals, to 1.2 cm in length, are emplaced on a thin plate of (metamorphosed) metasomatized garnet matrix. Striking specimen for the sparkle and richness of the crystallization. All of these crystals are SO gemmy, and transparent, that you can look right through them to the matrix beneath. Superb, bright specimen, and a lot of demantoid for the price, I felt
