Grossular (garnet) – Lake Jaco, Chihuahua, Mexico

This impressive grossular crystal comes from Lake Jaco, a locality known for its aesthetically well-formed garnets. Measuring 3 x 3 x 2.5 cm, it is one of the larger, particularly attractive single crystals from this site.

Crystal formation – Distinctive and well-proportioned

The grossular shows a clear formation with characteristic garnet geometry. Its faces are clearly recognizable and give the piece a striking, almost sculptural appearance. Its compact size is remarkable, making the crystal an aesthetically and mineralogically impressive piece.

Color effect – Delicate pink with warm nuances

The specimen captivates with its delicate pink to rosé-brown coloration, which develops a warm radiance in the light. Individual, contrasting accessory minerals emphasize the natural effect of the crystal and give it a lively appearance.

Historical collection – piece from the 1960s

This specimen comes from an old German collection and was acquired in the 1960s. It therefore has not only mineralogical but also historical significance – an aspect that further increases its collector's value.

A Mexican classic 

Grossulars from Lake Jaco are known for their clear crystal form, but larger single crystals like this one are rare. In conjunction with its collection history, this piece is a highlight of Mexican garnets and a valuable addition to any collection.
