Fascinating specimen of Garnet var. Grossular var. Chromian from the famous Jeffrey mine, Quebec, Canada. The crystals are gem and clear up to 1mm. They have deep and saturated grass-green color due to Chromium. The Garnets are with sharp rhombic dodecahedral crystallization, glassy luster and irresistible color. Apple-green Diopside crystals grow on the base. For references see the 2013 issue of The Mineralogical Record vol. 44, # 4. In very good condition – some small contacts. On acrylic base.

Marvelous!
