A splendid specimen of rare colorless garnet var. grossular crystals up to 3mm with diopside from the famous Jeffrey mine, Quebec, Canada. The colorless garnets are among the rarest in the world. The grossular crystals are gem, completely transparent and clear. They display sharp rhombic dodecahedral crystallization with a glassy luster. Surrounding the garnets are elongated, colorless needle-like diopside crystals arranged in a radiating pattern. These crystals exhibit a pale green hue, creating a harmonious contrast against the grossular. Under UV light, the grossular garnets fluoresce a vivid pink. For references see the 2013 issue of The Mineralogical Record vol. 44, # 4. In very good condition – some small contacts. On acrylic base.

Wonderful!
