Very unusually colored specimen in rich olive-green Grossular Garnet crystals to 2mm with white Albite from the famous Jeffrey mine, Quebec, Canada. The Grossular crystals are transparent, gem quality with superb luster and very saturated color. They have sharp rhombic dodecahedral habit. The Garnets are bright and sparkling. The specimen has nice contrast. For references see the 2013 issue of The Mineralogical Record vol. 44, # 4. In very good condition – some small nicks. On acrylic base.

Yummy!
