Pink grossulars from Mexico RARELY are this red and translucent - the vast majority are more pink and opaque. So this one really stands out, even though it has a bit of natural contacting. The other thing remarkable about it is how it sits perfectly and completely exposed atop a bit of matrix, so it is unusually aesthetic.
