Great green color in this amazing gemmy garnet crystal specimen. This beautiful lustrous crystal has a nice crystal habit with sharp terminations and would look great in any mineral collection! Whether I would consider this a tsavorite garnet or more mint color is tough, while it isn't the deepest green color, it's slightly darker, but I still think I would consider it a mint garnet. It shows a great yellowish orange when lit under a long-wave uv flashlight. We consider this piece to be a thumbnail sized specimen.
