Garnet Variety Hessonite
.8 x .8 x .8
Species: Garnet var. Hessonite on Biotite Mica
Jeffrey mine (Jeffrey quarry; Johns-Manville mine), Asbestos, Les Sources RCM, Estrie, Québec, Canada
This is an exceptional gem clear Garnet atop a Biotite Mica stack. The faces of this crystal are sharp and have mirror luster. Even thought it's small it's a textbook Garnet for crystallography and much better in person. |

Elbaite-Tourmaline-Cruzeiro-Brazil - $700
2.5 x 1.5 x 1.1 cm - 9.2 grams
Species: Elbaite var. Tourmaline
Locality: Cruzeiro mine, São José da Safira, Doce valley, Minas Gerais, Southeast Region, Brazil
This is a nice purple gem elbaite crystal I picket up in Tucson in 09'. It was from a new find and was the best one available by the time I acquired it. Perhaps one of the rarest colors of Tourmaline to aquire. This is an excellent example of such a piece with a fair amount of Gem material at the bottom of the crystal, I think you could get at least a 5-7 ct clean stone. The termination is of a yellowish green and is free of damage. |

1.4 x 1.1 x 1 cm
Species: Vesuvianite var: Manganoan Vesuvianite
Locality: Jeffrey mine (Jeffrey quarry; Johns-Manville mine), Asbestos, Les Sources RCM, Estrie, Québec, Canada
An amazing sharp crystal with great magenta color and superb luster followed by a little yellow on the termination. Nice blocky structure gives it a nice impact with good luster..
