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 habit. For references see the 2013 issue of The Mineralogical Record vol. 44, # 4. In very good condition – minor nick and back side contact. On acrylic base.

Fascinating!
