The finest Grossular Garnets in the world come from the Jeffrey Mine, and this is a fine example of why (even if in miniature size). The crystals have good color, fabulous striations, and glassy luster and gemminess. The largest crystal is 1 cm across, and it is partially contracted in the back. An aesthetic, representative specimen from Jeffrey.
