A killer jewel of gem grossular garnet crystal with inclusions of diopside needles from the famous Jeffrey mine, Quebec, Canada. The grossular is extremely transparent, gem quality with a superb luster and rich orange color. It is 8mm big with a sharp rhombic dodecahedral habit. Some very small crystals grow above. It displays beautifully all over 360 degree – a complete floater. For references see the 2013 issue of The Mineralogical Record vol. 44, # 4. In excellent condition - some minor imperfections. With acrylic base – not glued.
Amazing!
