Rare iso-oriented Garnet var. Grossular from the famous Jeffrey mine, Quebec, Canada. Iso-oriented Garnet crystals mean that their sides are parallel to the axes of the coordinate system. The Grossular crystals are glassy, translucent to gemmy with strong luster and pleasing light cream color. They are very sparkling and light reflective up to 5mm big. The crystals have sharp rhombic dodecahedral habit. Uncommon specimen from this closed mine. For references see the 2013 issue of The Mineralogical Record vol. 44, # 4. In good condition – some contacts. On acrylic base.

Interesting iso-oriented Grossular!
