6 x 5 cm brown grossulare from Hohe Waid near Schriesheim, Odenwald, Baden-Württemberg. It´s not a beauty, however, but for a German locality this is a huge garnet crystal. Maybe there are more but I only know a single German place that gave bigger garnets: Irchenrieth near Weiden, Bavaria. By 1900 almandin crystals up to 20 cm in diameter were found in a pegmatite mine. (Author: Andreas Gerstenberg)
