Sparkling jewels of light orange colored Grossular Garnets attractively set on green Clinochlore. This is quite uncommon combo from Jeffrey mine. Grossular crystals are up to 3mm, transparent, gem quality with superb luster and pleasant color. Perfect rhombohedral crystal habit with rhomboid shape faces - classic for this locality. Clinochlore crystals well developed in rosette clusters with rich green color. Some Diopsides crystals are seen too. The high quality of the minerals gives perfect display and strong contrast. For references see the issue of The Mineralogical Record vol. 44, # 4. In excellent condition – some small nicks. On acrylic base.

Very eye catching!
