Fabulous specimen of rare Garnet var. Grossular with green phantoms. The Grossular crystals are gem, with green cores, which are result of Chromium, surrounded by transparent, colorless areas. The crystals have trapezohedral 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 very good condition - some small contacts and natural imperfections. On acrylic base.

Splendid phantom Garnets!
