A splendid specimen of garnet var. grossular var. chromian from the famous Jeffrey mine, Quebec, Canada. The grossular crystals are gemmy to 4mm. They have a deep and saturated grass-green color due to chromium. The garnets are with a good crystallization, strong luster and irresistible color. Apple-green diopside crystals cover the base. For references see the 2013 issue of The Mineralogical Record vol. 44, # 4. In very good condition – some small contacts. On acrylic base.

Cool gem-green garnets!
