Grossular - gemmy crystals
Jeffrey Mine, Asbestos (now Val-des-Sources, Estrie,
Quebec, Canada
3.1 x 2.1 1.3 CM (small miniature/ large thumbnail (toenail))
price: $280
Spring 2020
A cluster or stack of very lustrous Garnets with the classic color and form that made the Jeffrey Mine world famous. This is the flattened type of cluster with no matrix, it is entirely contacted on the back as was the case with this style, fully translucent and mostly transparent. This type of specimen was sometimes used as a sort of natural jewelry, mounted or wire wrapped as is or with the back ground flat. A very good value these Garnets show characteristic striations and growth hillocks. A fine modern classic from a source that will never again produce anything.
