Cool and colorful specimen of Garnet var. Grossular var. Chromian with Diopside from the famous Jeffrey mine, Quebec, Canada. The crystals up to 2mm have rich grass-green color result of Chromium. They have rhombic dodecahedral sharp crystallization, glassy luster and irresistible color. The crystals are gem. Micro Diopside crystals with apple-green color cover the base. Very hard to find one of these now – the mine is closed. For references see the 2013 issue of The Mineralogical Record vol. 44, # 4. In very good condition – some small nicks and contact. On acrylic base.

Fascinating!
