A stunning specimen of honey-orange colored grossular garnet crystals from the legendary Jeffrey mine, Quebec, Canada. The dazzling crystals up to 5mm exhibit extraordinary transparency and are of true gem quality, with a high luster and rich coloration. Their glassy appearance and pure, vibrant color resemble liquid sunlight. The crystals have a sharp crystallization. All crystals have the nice striations characteristic for Jeffrey mine and are extremely sparkling. With such amazing gemminess, striking luster and irresistible color it is a truly outstanding piece from this great now-closed locality. For references see the 2013 issue of The Mineralogical Record vol. 44, # 4. In excellent condition – one minor damage. On acrylic base.

A treasure for any fine collection!
