Superb single crystal of grass-green Garnet var. Grossular var. Chromian from the famous Jeffrey mine, Quebec, Canada. The crystal is gemmy and 12mm big. It has rich green color due to Chromium. With rhombic dodecahedral sharp crystallization, strong luster and irresistible color. Very hard to find one of these now – the mine is closed.  For references see the 2013 issue of The Mineralogical Record vol. 44, # 4. In very good condition – some micro nicks and back side contact. On acrylic base.

Fine chromian Grossular!
