A superb specimen of garnet var. grossular var. chromian from the famous Jeffrey mine, Quebec, Canada. The grossular crystals are gem up to 3mm. They have deep and saturated grass-green to apple-green color due to chromium. The garnets are with a good crystallization, glassy luster to some more matt faces and irresistible color. The base is covered with apple-green diopside. Fine piece from this closed mine. For references see the 2013 issue of The Mineralogical Record vol. 44, # 4. In very good condition – some small contacts. On acrylic base.

Fabulous gem-green garnets!
