A nice specimen of garnet var. grossular var. chromian with black chromite inclusions from the famous Jeffrey mine, Quebec, Canada. The grossular crystals are gem. They have a deep and saturated grass-green color due to chromium. The garnets are with sharp rhombic dodecahedral crystallization, glassy luster and irresistible color. For references see the 2013 issue of The Mineralogical Record vol. 44, # 4. In very good condition - some small contacts and one partial crack. On acrylic base.

Pleasing!
