A fascinating specimen of very unusually colored in rich olive-yellow-green garnet var. andradite var. topazolite crystals to 1,5 mm from the famous Jeffrey mine, Quebec, Canada. This specimen comes from a small find and due to its color can be identified as variety topazolite. The andradite crystals are transparent, gem quality with a superb luster. They have sharp habit. The garnets are bright and very sparkling. Inside some crystals are seen green chromian phantoms. For references see the 2013 issue of The Mineralogical Record vol. 44, # 4. In good condition – some contacts.

Cool!
