Extremely dark green, chromium-colored garnets from a rare find at this now-closed locality! Though the crystals are smallish by standards of other locales, to 3 mm or so, this is typical of the material and in fact this is LARGER than most such crystals. What is atypical for the specimen is the sheer richness of the deep green hue, which is in the top percentiles of color quality. I nperson, these have a much more brilliant luster, as well! 5 x 4 x 1 cm
