Pretty jewel of orange gem grossular garnet crystals attractively growing with a green diopside from the famous Jeffrey mine, Quebec, Canada. The grossular crystals are to 2mm, transparent, gem quality with superb luster and pleasing color. They are extremely clear and limpid – pure orange water. They have sharp trapezohedral habit. The prismatic diopside crystals are well shaped with a light apple-green color. For references see 2013 issue of The Mineralogical Record vol. 44, # 4. In excellent condition. On acrylic base.

Splendid!
