Grossular Green Garnet Natural Mali

Grossular Green Garnet Natural Mali is a crystal (shop SKU VGG10) on the shelves at Namaste Bookshop in Manhattan.

Grossular is a calcium aluminum garnet; green grossular from Mali is a well-known collector material. The listing uses the name given on the title. In crystal traditions, green garnet is associated with growth and with the heart. Those ideas belong to folklore and personal practice, not to any medical claim.

Natural stones vary in color, clarity, and shape, so the piece you receive will have its own character even when the weight, grade, or size is listed. The title gives the origin as Mali.
