A gorgeous jewel of top quality and extremely sparkling Garnet var. Grossular var. Chromian. The crystals are ultimately gem and clear, around 1mm big. They have super deep emerald-green color, due to Chromium. Inclusions of small black Chromite and Clinochlore are seen too. Dodecahedral sharp crystallization, glassy luster and irresistible color. Very hard to find one of these now – the mine is inactive and this is found long time ago. Green colored Garnets are among the best Jeffrey mine Garnets. This is of truly superior quality – very fresh and sparkling. For references see the issue of The Mineralogical Record vol. 44, # 4. In good condition – some contacts. On acrylic base.

Exceptional gem-green Garnets – world grade quality!
