Rare colorless Grossular crystals from a small find made in 2018 near Georgetown. The specimens were found in an approximately 3 meter long lens in Serpentine that was completely mined out (Len Pisciotta pers. comm.). These have been analyzed as nearly pure end member Grossular with the crystals occurring in bunches or on massive white Grossular. This specimen features and shallow open vug lined with 3-4mm crystals. This deposit is featured in the November-December 2019 Mineralogical Record magazine. Specimen was collected by Len Pisciotta and one of his best from the find.
