These crystals, despite their size, are still some of the darkest, richest green Chrome-bearing Grossular crystals I've seen from any locality. There are literally dozens upon dozens of very small, bright, lustrous, dodecahedral neon green Chrome Grossulars on a greyish-tan colored Diopside matrix. A very attractive piece from this classic, and now defunct world locality. 5.4 x 3.6 x 2.2cm
