Cute small specimen of gem Grossular Garnet crystals attractively set on Diopside needles from the famous Jeffrey mine, Quebec, Canada. The Grossular crystals are extremely transparent, gem quality with superb luster and pleasing orange color. They are up to 4mm big with sharp rhombic dodecahedral habit. The dominant crystals at the top form superb focal point. The Diopside crystals are light green needles, well crystallized with elongated shape. Displays nicely all over 360 degree. For references see the 2013 issue of The Mineralogical Record vol. 44, # 4. In excellent condition - some minor nicks. On acrylic base.

Yummy!
