Sparkling jewels of light orange colored Grossular Garnets attractively growing on green Clinochlore from the famous Jeffrey mine, Quebec, Canada. This is more uncommon combo from Jeffrey mine. The Grossular crystals are up to 2mm, transparent, gem quality with superb luster and pleasant color. Perfect rhombohedral crystal habit with rhomboid shape faces - classic for this locality. The Clinochlore crystals are well developed in rosette clusters with rich green color. Some Diopsides crystals are seen too. The high quality of the minerals gives perfect display on both sides. For references see the issue of The Mineralogical Record vol. 44, # 4. In very condition – some small nicks and contacts. On acrylic base.

Superb!
