Fabulous specimen of very rare Garnet var. Grossular with green phantoms. The Grossular crystals are up to 6mm, gem, with green cores, which are result of Chromium, surrounded by transparent, lighter green areas. The crystals have rhombic dodecahedral sharp crystallization, good luster and irresistible contrast. The green cored Garnets are among the most unusual and rare Jeffrey mine Garnets. This was mined long time ago - the mine is closed now. For references see the 2013 issue of The Mineralogical Record vol. 44, # 4. In excellent condition – some base contacts. On acrylic base.

Gorgeous phantom Garnets!
