Splendid jewel of light orange colored Grossular Garnet crystals attractively growing on a Diopside base from the famous Jeffrey mine, Quebec, Canada. The Grossular crystals are up to 7mm, transparent, gem quality with superb luster and tender color. They have perfect rhombic dodecahedral crystal habit. The biggest crystal at the top forms an aesthetic focal point. The Diopsides crystals are well shaped with light apple-green color. For references see 2013 issue of The Mineralogical Record vol. 44, # 4. In excellent condition – some small side contacts. On acrylic base.

Fascinating!
