2.1 x 1.6 x 1.5 cm. This is a beautiful apple-green, lustrous, translucent, crystal of grossular var. tsavorite, a rare and beautiful member of the garnet family. The crystal size and quality is exceptional for a specimen tsavorite - usually they are smaller and rougher. This 44.84 carat thumbnail is an example of the beauty and color that has made it rival emeralds in jewelry.
