A superb specimen of pink colored grossular garnet crystals to 4mm attractively decorated with green diopside on a white albite base from the famous Jeffrey mine, Quebec, Canada. The grossular crystals are transparent and gem quality – pure pink water. They are with a glassy luster and pleasing, tender pink color. They have a sharp rhombic dodecahedral habit. Apple-green diopsides are seen all over. The pink grossulars contrast nicely on the white background. Very rare pink garnets from this great and closed mine. For references see the 2013 issue of The Mineralogical Record vol. 44, # 4. In good condition – some contacts.

Exceptional pink garnets!
