Gem Garnet var. Grossular on Diopside, Belvidere Mountain Quarries (Eden Mills Quarries), Lowell & Eden, Orleans & Lamoille Cos., Vermont, United States
Gemmy, glittering light tan grossular garnet crystals are attractively paired with translucent to transparent, colorless to white diopside prisms from the famous Eden Mills, Vermont, occurrence. The grossular crystals present superb luster with sharp rhombic dodecahedral habit. The chaotic “jackstraw” arrangement of the impossibly slender, long prismatic and highly lustrous diopside crystals are fascinating. It displays attractively all around, as seen in the video. Some contact. Mounted in a clear acrylic perky box.
