From the now-defunct Jeffrey Mine, this is a major garnet specimen with top color, riveting luster, and huge gemmy crystals to 2.1 cm across. The color is fantastic, really top rate, and the gemminess is such that you can see through ALL crystals to their cores and the small bit of underlaying matrix. The crystals cover a thin matrix plate. The display face is totally pristine and complete, and the only damage is simply the peripheral attachments around the rim of the piece. With garnet from this classic locale evaporating from the market, now that the mines are closed, I am tempted to simply stash this for the future as good specimens from here should prove a very good investment, as far as minerals go.
