A marvelous specimen of rare garnet var. grossular with green phantoms from the famous Jeffrey mine, Quebec, Canada. The grossular crystals are gem with green cores which are result of chromium and surrounded by transparent colorless areas. The crystals to 1mm have a rhombic dodecahedral sharp crystallization and glassy luster. Some inclusions of black chromite are seen too. This was mined long time ago - the mine is closed now. For references see the 2013 issue of The Mineralogical Record vol. 44, # 4. In excellent condition. On acrylic base.

Cool phantom garnets!
