A gorgeous jewel of orange gem grossular garnet crystals attractively growing with green diopside from the famous Jeffrey mine, Quebec, Canada. The grossular crystals are up to 4mm, transparent, gem quality with superb luster and pleasant bright color. They are extremely clear and limpid – pure orange water. They have a perfect rhombic dodecahedral crystal habit. The garnets are strongly fluorescent in a bright, rich pink. The elongated diopside crystals are with light apple-green color. The high quality gives a fascinating display. For references see 2013 issue of The Mineralogical Record vol. 44, # 4. In excellent condition.

Superb!
