Glassy and translucent, brownish-orange grossular garnet crystals, to 2.5 cm across are emplaced on a garnet rich matrix (with much damage between the otherwise nice crystals). Although some of the crystals are damaged, the color, luster and size of the remaining crystals make this specimen a fascinating piece.
