Gorgeous and extremely sparkling specimen of Garnet var. Grossular var. Chromian with small black Chromite inclusions from the famous Jeffrey mine, Quebec, Canada. The crystals are with rich green color - result of Chromium. On the back side the crystals are lighter green to colorless. They have rhombic dodecahedral sharp crystallization, glassy luster and irresistible color. The crystals are gem. The specimen displays beautifully all over 360 degree. 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 small contacts. On acrylic base.
Astonishing glowing green gems!
