Very gem, beautiful color, perfect faces, very high shine.

Some very interesting clarifications thanks to Mr. Adrien Sautier: It is in all likelihood a grossular pole. First of all, the base of gray-green crystals reminds me of clinochlore, which would indicate an environment rich in calcium rather than aluminum, therefore pyralspite series excluded. If it is also a rodingitic fissure, the grossular is practically guaranteed. Another subtle clue: the faces of the trapezohedron seem not only modified by the dodecahedron (classical), but also by the hexoctahedron {321}. However, in almost all cases, these forms were observed on the ougrandite series.
