A large, gorgeous and gemmy orange grossular garnet dodecahedron from the famous and now-closed Jeffrey Mine in Quebec, Canada. A bit of contacting on the back and very trivial edge damage is barely noticeable and in context to the size of this crystal is fairly trivial since it displays well from the front. Old dealer stock of Dr. Gary Hansen and not shown since the early 1980s! 1.8 x 1.7 x 1.7 cm
