Description

A marvelous specimen of very unusually colored in olive-yellow-green garnet var. andradite var. topazolite crystals to 1mm from the famous Jeffrey mine, Quebec, Canada. This specimen comes from a small find and due to its color can be identified as variety topazolite. The andradite crystals are transparent, gem quality with a superb luster and pleasing color. They have a sharp rhombic dodecahedral habit. The garnets are bright and very sparkling. For references see the 2013 issue of The Mineralogical Record vol. 44, # 4. Some contacts.
