Pink Grossular Garnet with Diopside and Wollastonite

Item Description

The Jeffrey mine has produced the finest Grossulars in the world, hands down. The pink variety is quite uncommon, and highly sought after, especially the really good ones like you have here. The Grossulars are lustrous, gemmy, and beautifully formed. They are gemmy thoughout, and really look like pink cut glass, they are so good. The largest Grossulars reach about 8 mm, but the several dozen crystals range from small to large. They rest on lustrous, acicular Diopside crystals, with white Wollastonite interspersed like snow in the grass. I am always on the lookout for any great Jeffrey Mine piece, and I will say the aesthetics of this pink Grossular cabinet specimen is dazzling. And on top of all that, the Grossulars fluoresce orange! RARE, and easily valued $2500 or more. Ex Keith Proctor collection
