Small but wildly fantastic specimen of faden Tsavorite with a main stack of crystals and a smaller double-terminated stack of crystals atttached to one side of the specimen. Undamaged and complete all around. Has a good medium green color and is translucent to transparent. These were found recently (past few years) and are really remarkable specimens of Tsavorite, the chromium and vanadium rich variety of Grossular.
