Grossular -very transparent crystals over diopside etc.
Jeffrey Mine, Asbestos (now Val-des-Sources, Estrie,
Quebec, Canada
2.3 x 2.1 x 1.6 CM (thumbnail)
price: $320
Spring update
A sculptural thumbnail with sharp, glass-clear crystals and deep color. It is possible to fine details in the matrix right through the Garnets. Crystals completely encrust a "thumb" of matrix on all sides. The luster is top notch, and there is no damage. With strong magnification the matrix shows several different micro crystals not identified. Fine striations on every crystal show different structures.
