Marvelous orange colored Grossular Garnets crystals attractively set on Diopside base with green Clinochlore. This is quite uncommon specimen from Jeffrey mine. The Grossular crystals are up to 6mm, transparent, gem quality with superb luster and pleasing bright color. Perfect rhombic dodecahedral crystal habit with rhomboid shape faces. Light green Diopsides crystals cover the base. Some well developed in rosette clusters of Clinochlore with darker green color are seen above.. For references see the 2013 issue of The Mineralogical Record vol. 44, # 4. In excellent condition. On acrylic base.

Fantastic!
