Grossular garnet
Cerro de Moka, Sierra de Cruces, Municipio de Sierra Mojada, Coahuila, Mexico
60 x 55 x 48 mm overall
Sharp, dramatic, intergrown, well-formed, lustrous, somewhat gemmy crystals of ruby-red Grossular garnets to 18 x 12 mm are perched on a well trimmed strikingly contrasting white matrix. The matrix is a mixture of fine grained clear to whitish garnets and what is likely Wollastonite. Like all these specimens, the garnets were mechanically excavated without any repairs, and is very good condition, with just little dings present, as is normal with these specimens. One side was incompletely formed showing the greenish core. The piece is quite good for this locality, and has nice aesthetics. Collected December of 1992 by Graham Sutton and Bob Griffis.
