Here is a honey of a hessonite. The largest crystal is 1.4 cm in diameter. the other ones around it are over 1 cm in diameter, all are gem-quality with an  excellent orange-cognac color. The five larger crystals are well framed by many tiny hessonites on the top and bottom, and even wrap around the back side (pictured above) where there are five more larger garnets. It sits just right by itself, and has a bright attractive lustre. Good ones like this are few and far between (great color, clarity and condition). A great miniature with no damage.
