An outstanding specimen of gemmy garnet var. demantoid from the famous Jeffrey mine, Quebec, Canada.  On white asbestos sit demantoid crystals. The biggest one at the top forms an excellent focal point. It is 13mm – among the biggest for the find of this type from the mine. Usually these are much smaller. The garnets have rounded edges. The crystals are lustrous and gemmy. The color is a rich apple-green. It is complete all over. 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 – some natural imperfections. On acrylic base.
