SUPER GEMMY and lustrous orange grossular garnets to 1.2 cm cover this fine miniature plate from the famous Jeffrey Mine of Canada. The color and gemminess of these crystals is Grade A. One slightly bruised crystal and a bit of periphery bruising in no way detract from this beautiful and showy piece. The base has been sawed to enhance display. Ex Ed Ruggiero Collection. Ed, formerly from Dallas, collected from the 1960s until 1987. His collection represents a wonderful time-slice of minerals available during that period. 4.6 x 3.6 x 1.8 cm
