A killer small jewel of extremely rare pink garnet var. grossular with green phantoms from the famous Jeffrey mine, Quebec, Canada. The grossular crystals to 5mm are water clear and gem with green cores which are result of chromium, and surrounded by transparent pink areas. Normally these are colorless and the pink phantom garnets are even much rarer. The crystals have sharp rhombic dodecahedral crystallization, strong glassy luster and irresistible color. The main garnet crystal forms a superb focal point. Bright apple-green diopside crystals form the base and add a nice colorfulness. It shows beautifully all over 360 degree. It is fluorescent. The green cored garnets are among the most unusual and rare Jeffrey mine garnets. 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 excellent condition – one natural imperfection. On acrylic base.

Exceptional!
