Killer specimen of gem Grossular Garnet crystals with Diopside needles from the famous Jeffrey mine, Quebec, Canada. The Grossular crystals are extremely transparent, gem quality with superb luster and rich orange color. They are up to 6mm big with sharp rhombic dodecahedral habit. The dominant crystals form excellent focal points. The Diopside crystals are colorless needles, well crystallized with elongated shape. For references see the 2013 issue of The Mineralogical Record vol. 44, # 4. In very good condition - some small nicks and contacts. On acrylic base.

Gorgeous!
