A pretty orange colored grossular garnet crystal attractively growing on olive-green diopside crystals from the famous Jeffrey mine, Quebec, Canada. The grossular crystal is 6mm, transparent and gem with a glassy luster, and pleasing orange color. It has a sharp rhombic dodecahedral crystal habit with rhomboid shape faces - classic for this locality. For references see the 2013 issue of The Mineralogical Record vol. 44, # 4. In very good condition – one natural leap. On acrylic base.

Fascinating!
