Description/Interesting Notes:
A terrific example of this rare and colorful garnet species from Finland!!! This specimen hosts several complex, intense chrome green
uvarovite garnet crystals on a matrix of light green chrome diopside and quartz!!! The crystals have sharp, glassy faces and
intense deep emerald green color!!! The crystals range in size up to .7cm!!! The crystals exhibit highly complex, modified habits!!!
Although the crystals are not complete they still display quite handsomely as well!!! Classic old time material!!!
The pics hardly do it justice!!! Must be seen in person to be fully appreciated!!! This specimen is from the
collection of Tony Nikischer!!! We just acquired the 6000+ specimen PERSONAL collection of Tony Nikischer and
there are going to be some very exciting minerals to come in the upcoming days and weeks!!! Prior to the Nikischer
collection this specimen was originally from the collection of Florence Mecke (acquired from the late 1930's until the 1970's)!!!
