A gorgeous small jewel of rare pink garnet var. grossular from the famous Jeffrey mine, Quebec, Canada. The crystal of 7 mm is clear and gem with a marvelous pink color. The crystal has a sharp rhombic dodecahedral crystallization and a strong luster. It is fluorescent. 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 very good condition – some natural imperfections. On acrylic base.

Fantastic!
