Killer small specimen of gem Grossular Garnet crystals with inclusions of Diopside needles from the famous Jeffrey mine, Quebec, Canada. The Grossular crystals are extremely transparent, gem quality with superb luster and rich orange color. They are up to 8mm big with sharp rhombic dodecahedral habit. The dominant crystal forms a superb focal point. It displays beautifully all over 360 degree. For references see the 2013 issue of The Mineralogical Record vol. 44, # 4. In very good condition - some small contacts. On acrylic base.

Jewel!
