Most of the garnet found here is Hessonite, a red-orange variety of Grossular, growing within a distinctive rock called rodingite — formed during the serpentinization of mantle peridotite, and a geological witness to the shifting of ancient oceanic crust and the rise of the Alps. This is why specimens from the area are so often paired with diopside, epidote, vesuvianite, and other calcium silicates, producing their signature layered color. Fontana del Preive, the \"Priest's Spring,\" is one of Val d'Ala's most notable localities — some specimens here even display rare pagoda-like or elongated crystal habits, a trait especially prized by collectors.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/mineral-taiwanshop.thebrothersstones.com\/en\/blogs\/information-about-italian-minerals\/italian-grossular-fontana-del-preive\"\u003e→Explore more about grossular from Piemonte, Italy\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Taiwan Mineral Shop by The Brothers' Stones","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43543339368511,"sku":"GA25-054","price":800.0,"currency_code":"TWD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0629\/3779\/2575\/files\/GA25-054-02.jpg?v=1784222181","url":"https:\/\/mineral-taiwanshop.thebrothersstones.com\/en-eu\/products\/%e9%88%a3%e9%8b%81%e7%9f%b3%e6%a6%b4%e7%9f%b3-%e7%be%a9%e5%a4%a7%e5%88%a9-6","provider":"Taiwan Mineral Shop by The Brothers' Stones","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
