Item Description
An impressive CABINET plate richly covered with beautiful, gemmy, lustrous and striated, cinnamon-colored grossular garnets from the famous and now-closed Jeffrey Mine of Quebec. Crystals reach 9 mm on this rather large display piece. Scattered bruising and periphery wear is noted and evident in the photos, which does detract from value, though. This remains a highly representative large garnet specimen from this historic locale. Ex Saller Collection of Germany.
