Grossular on Prehnite
Jeffrey Mine, Asbestos (now Val-des-Sources, Estrie,
Quebec, Canada
1.7 x 1.5 x 1.3 CM (thumbnail)
price: $4500
Spring update
An unbelievable killer "bonsai tree"! This small thumb from the great Jeffrey mine is unique. Perfect display and undamaged all around. The Garnets are the deep emerald green color that are called "Chrome Grossular" and are gem clear. The Trunk of the tree is a single complete Prehnite crystal of the elongated prismatic habit. We have handled quite a few bright green Grossular but have never even seen such an esthetic combination. Simply extraordinary for the locality and for the specie. Top notch competition level, really a once in a lifetime thumbnail.
