Amazing grass green Garnet var. Grossular var. Chromian crystals decorated by Diopside blades and Chromite from the famous Jeffrey mine, Quebec, Canada. The Grossular crystals are small with super deep green color result of Chromium. They are gemmy and sparkling. The Diopside crystals grow above. They are well shaped with bright apple-green color and strong luster. Some small black Chromite is seen too. Complete all over 360 degree.  First quality combo from this great and closed mine. For references see the 2013 issue of The Mineralogical Record vol. 44, # 4. In excellent condition – some small contacts.  On acrylic base.

Fantastic!
