Marvelous specimen of very unusually colored in olive-yellow-green Garnet var. Andradite var. Topazolite crystals up to 3mm from the famous Jeffrey mine, Quebec, Canada. This specimen comes from a small recent find and due to its color can be identified as variety Topazolite. The Andradite crystals are transparent, gem quality with superb luster and pleasing color. They have sharp habit. The Garnets are bright and very sparkling. Some white Albite is seen too. For references see the 2013 issue of The Mineralogical Record vol. 44, # 4. In good condition – some contacts. On acrylic base.

Splendid!
