A LARGE, beautifully gemmy and lustrous, sherry-colored grossular garnet crystal with a bit of included matrix from the famous and now closed Jeffrey Mine in Quebec. This crystal has several excellent faces with nice striations. A trivial edge bruise and very minor periphery contacting is certainly not detracting. It is MAJOR Ex Richard Hauck Collection. 2.8 x 2.5 x 1.8 cm
