HESSONITE3

This is a strange little garnet. It has the most bizarre inclusions within it. They appear golden and sparkly, but I don't know what they are! Hessonites from the Jeffrey Quarry, don't usually have inclusions of any note, which makes this piece unique. To a garnet collector, this is a choice thumbnail. It weighs 14.13 ct/2.82 grams.
