Killer rare pink colored grossular garnet crystals to 3mm beautifully growing on white diopside needles from the famous Jeffrey mine, Quebec, Canada. The garnet crystals are very glassy, transparent, gem quality with a superb luster and pleasing pink color. They have razor sharp rhombic dodecahedral crystal habit. The color is very tender and combined with the excellent gemminess make it a remarkable specimen from this closed mine. It displays all over 360 degree. For references see the 2013 issue of The Mineralogical Record vol. 44, # 4. In superb condition. On acrylic base.

Exceptional pink beauty!
