Splendid small crystal of grass-green Garnet var. Grossular var. Chromian from the famous Jeffrey mine, Quebec, Canada. The crystal is gem and 5mm big. It has rich green color due to Chromium. With rhombic dodecahedral sharp crystallization, strong luster and irresistible color. Complete all over floater. Minor Diopside is seen too. Very hard to find one of these now – the mine is closed.  For references see the 2013 issue of The Mineralogical Record vol. 44, # 4. In superb condition – some micro nicks.

Fine chromian Grossular!
