A colorful small specimen of garnet var. grossular var. chromian with black chromite inclusions from the famous Jeffrey mine, Quebec, Canada. The grossular crystals are gem. They have a deep and saturated grass-green color due to chromium. The garnets are with sharp rhombic dodecahedral crystallization, glassy luster and irresistible color. It displays attractively all over 360 degree. For references see the 2013 issue of The Mineralogical Record vol. 44, # 4. In very good condition - some small contacts. On acrylic base.

Fascinating!
