Exceptional top specimen of honey-orange colored Grossular Garnet crystals up to 11mm from the famous Jeffrey mine, Quebec, Canada. They are extremely transparent, gem quality with superb luster and rich saturated color. They are glassy and clear - pure orange water. The crystals have rhombic dodecahedral habit with sharp crystallization. All crystals have nice striations characteristic for Jeffrey mine. Dark Clinochlore rosettes cover the base. With such amazing gemminess, glassy luster and irresistible color it is a truly superb Garnet from this great and closed mine. It displays beautifully on both sides.
