Top quality and rare specimen for the locality of Garnet var. Grossular with green phantoms, from this less common Quebec mine - British Canadian mine, Canada. It comes from the collection of Francois Letourneau, Quebec, Canada - small number label on the back of the piece. The crystals are gem and clear up to 5mm. The Grossular crystals are with rich green cores, which are result of Chromium, surrounded by transparent, colorless areas. The crystals have rhombic dodecahedral sharp crystallization, glassy luster and irresistible contrast. Some Clinochlore is seen too. It is very hard to find one of these – the mine is closed since long time. Some contacts. On acrylic base.

Mesmerizing!
