HESSONITE6

This specimen exhibits a single large, gemmy garnet surrounded by smaller garnets and nicely framed by Diopside crystals. The back side of it has a little cavern filled with Diopside, with more small garnets. It is unusual to find a hessonite that is well "situated," on matrix. The Jeffrey mine has been closed for years, with only a little digging with hand tools off and on for the last two years. No chips or dings.
