Small but wildly fantastic specimen of faden Tsavorite composed of a single stack of crystals, undamaged and complete all around with no points of contact (a floater). 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.
