Description/Interesting Notes:
An absolutely gorgeous example of PINK grossular garnet from this famed Canadian locality!!! This specimen consists of a cluster of
sharp, lustrous yellow-green diopside crystals that hosts a striking showing of gemmy crystals of PINK grossular garnet!!! While this
locality is perhaps best known for its characteristic orange-peach colored hessonite grossular garnets -
these crystals are truly PINK and more closely resemble a classic pink Swiss fluorite!!! In person the crystals are very
bright and showy!!! The crystals are razor-sharp, glassy, gemmy, complete and undamaged!!! In person the crystals stand out in surprising
contrast to the surrounding diopside crystals, in part because of their fine quality and unique color!!! A very unique and
striking gem indeed!!! The pics don't even come close to doing it justice!!! Must be seen in person to be fully appreciated!!!
Good luck and be sure to check out my other exciting mineral auctions on ebay!!! STAY TUNED!!! MORE AUCTIONS WILL BE ADDED MONDAY NIGHT FOR A SPECIAL 3-DAY AUCTION, ENDING THURSDAY SEPTEMBER 15th!!!
