2.3" Gemmy, Orange Grossular Garnet Cluster - Washington

This 2.3" wide specimen contains exceptionally gemmy, orange grossular garnets that formed from a matrix rich in hedenbergite, collected from Vesper Peak in the Cascade Mountain Range of Washington. This is part of a recent find in 2020 from Vesper Peak.

Vesper Peak is located along the Sultan Basin in Snohomish County, Washington. It is known for producing exceptional grossular garnet specimens, as well as a wide variety of other minerals including quartz, prehnite, diopside, pyrite, calcite, clinozoisite, hedenbergite, and many more. The most commonly known mine is the 48-55 Mine, or the Garnet Mine, and the claim is owned by Mr. P. E. Crane of Snohomish, Washington. The hike to this location is considered quite difficult and is only accessible for about half of the year.
