Correct, it is Andradite. Grossular was discredited for this locality.

I collected there last summer and yes, it is Andradite.

Andradite
Ursoanne quarry, Banat, Romania

A similar piece.
Since I had taken this photo I cleaned up this piece a bit, removed some calcite and uncovered more Andradite crystals.
