A cool specimen of very unusually colored in olive-yellow-green garnet var. andradite var. topazolite crystals to 1.5mm from the famous Jeffrey mine, Quebec, Canada. This specimen comes from a small recent find and due to its color can be identified as variety topazolite. The andradite crystals are transparent, gem quality with a superb luster and pleasing color. They have sharp habit. The Garnets are bright and very sparkling. For references see the 2013 issue of The Mineralogical Record vol. 44, # 4. In very good condition – some small contacts.

Marvelous!
