A green diamonds like jewel of high quality garnet var. grossular var. chromian from the famous Jeffrey mine, Quebec, Canada. The crystals are super gem and clear to 2,5mm. They have a very deep and saturated grass-green color due to chromium. They are with a sharp rhombic dodecahedral habit, glassy luster and irresistible color. Some small inclusions of black chromite are seen too. Light green diopside crystals grow on the base. A fine piece from this closed mine. This is of truly superior quality – very colorful, gem and extremely sparkling. For references see the 2013 issue of The Mineralogical Record vol. 44, # 4. In excellent condition. On acrylic base.

Killer gem-green garnets!
