Grossular Garnet on Tanzanite
Merelani Mines, Arusha, Tanzania
Miniature, 3.5 x 2.7 x 2.0 cm
SOLD
This superb miniature is from a rare, small find of about 6 years back. It features mint-green grossular garnets ON tanzanite matrix! The garnets are good in and of themselves, and of quite high quality for the location. The combination, though, is just unique so far as I know.
