Description
English: Grossular, Vesuvianite
Locality: Belvidere Mountain Quarries (Vermont Asbestos Group mine; VAG mine; Ruberoid Asbestos mine; Eden Mills quarries), Lowell & Eden, Orleans & Lamoille Cos., Vermont, USA (Locality at mindat.org)
Size: small cabinet, 5.9 x 3.4 x 2.6 cm
Grossular Garnet on Idocrase (also known as Vesuvianite)
The bright, candy-like garnets from this locality are treasured in old collections, and now hard to obtain on the market. This jewel-like specimen has super lustre, intense deep color, and good aesthetics for a miniature-sized example - most are much more sparse in garnet coverage. The crystals reach 6 mm and there is almost no damage, really just a bit at peripheries and one spot in one cluster where a crystal has popped out, leaving a natural contact. It displays VERY impressively. Ex Ed David and Marty Zinn collections.
