Spessartine Garnet in Diopside

Here is a beautiful example from a classic location. It came out of an old collection, as is the case from this closed locality. This one was collected in the 1950's. The bright orange-red garnets are perched on well crystallized diopside crystals. There are a total of four garnets, front and back. The largest measures 1.0 x .8 cm, it has a slight inclusion that is internal on its top side. It comes mounted on an acrylic base. Eden Mills garnets are hardly ever on the market.
