Gorgeous specimen of gem Garnet var. Grossular var. Chromian with Clinochlore and Diopside from the famous Jeffrey mine, Quebec, Canada. The Grossular crystals to 3.5mm have rich grass-green color result of Chromium. They have rhombic dodecahedral sharp crystallization, glassy luster and irresistible color. The crystals are gem. Clinochlore rosettes and Diopside crystals are seen too. 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 contacts. On acrylic base.

Astonishing glowing green gems!
