3.2" Raspberry, Grossular Garnets in Matrix - Coahuila, Mexico

This is a 3.2" wide specimen that contains raspberry-red grossular garnets, collected from Sierra de Cruces, Mexico. It comes with an acrylic display stand.

The colors that grossular garnets typically display range from yellow, green, brown, and in some cases a pale-pink color: deeper red colors are extremely rare. However, in the late 90s, raspberry-red garnets were discovered at a locality known as Sierra de Cruces, Coahuila, Mexico. This color had previously never been documented in natural grossular garnets. These garnets are also frequently sold under the name rosolite.

An in-depth study conducted on these garnets can be found here:
