4661008) Grossular with Diopside - Mt Belvidere Quarries, Lowell & Eden, Orleans & Lamoille Cos., Vermont, USA Size: 6.5 x 4.5 x 2.5 cm (small cabinet) Price: $ 1500
A 6.5 x 4.5 x 2.5 cm matrix, the top covered with pale green prismatic terminated diopside crystals to 1.3 cm in size. There are two cinnamon colored semi-lustrous translucent crystals of grossular present, the largest 2.3 cm across. Only with a 10x loupe can I find one tiny chip on a grossular crystal edge; I did not see this with my naked eye. The crystal size is quite large for this famous locality; the quality quite good.
