Gorgeous and gemmy cluster of Tsavorite crystals atop a 'matrix' of colorless to pale green Grossular.. The cluster is about 1.3cm wide and has associated Pyrite and Graphite. There is some irregular growth on the right side caused by Graphite crystals but is not damage. Showy example of this colorful and rare gem species.
