This amazing specimen of Grossular Garnet was collected in the now closed Jeffery Mine in Asbestos, Québec, Canada. This is an extremely elegant and classic cinnamon colored garnet from this locale. 

The Jeffrey Mine is well-regarded among mineral collectors for its grossular garnet specimens, particularly the rich orange (“hessonite”) crystals it produced during its active years. The mine’s grossular garnets are often described as some of the most distinctive and desirable in the world because of their strong, honey-orange to peach color, good transparency, sharp crystal form, and glassy luster — qualities that make them stand out compared to grossular from many other localities.

Today the mine is closed and flooded, so material comes from historic finds and old stock, adding to both rarity and appeal.

This beautiful specimen is in very good condition and will come protected in a Perky Box . A great addition to any collection!

Orange spessartine garnets from California are highly regarded for their intense "mandarin" orange color and are often found in matrix, particularly in the pegmatites of Southern California, including areas near Kern County. While the most famous, high-quality, gemmy spessartine crystals in matrix, accompanied by schorl and quartz, are famously associated with the Little Three Mine in nearby Ramona (San Diego County), similar pegmatite occurrences in the region, including Kern County, produce desirable collector specimens. 

Spessartine garnet is considered a "high vibration" stone and is often associated with creativity. The specimens from this region are known for being 100% natural and untreated.

This is a nice group of bright orange wulfenite crystals on matrix from Rowley Mine, Arizona. While the Rowley Mine does not produce the massive wulfenite crystals found at the famed Red Cloud Mine, its wulfenite is prized for its color, clarity, and associations. The crystals typically form as rich orange to yellow-orange thin, tabular, square blades. They are often beveled and can be exceptionally transparent and gemmy. Wulfenite here is frequently associated with mimetite, which often forms as bright orange-red spheres or balls. This association is the quintessential Rowley Mine look.

Wulfenite is often associated with creativity, emotional balance, and perseverance. Some believe it helps connect the heart and the will, encouraging people to follow their passions even through difficult or uncertain times. Wulfenite is also thought to support emotional healing by helping release old attachments and clearing a path for new experiences.

The specimen is in good condition and is a colorful and really beautiful specimen. Would be a beautiful addition to any new or existing collection.

Quartz from the Palermo #1 pegmatite in North Groton, New Hampshire typically occurs as clear to smoky hexagonal crystals with a bright vitreous luster, formed in pockets within a complex granitic pegmatite. These quartz crystals are often found attached to or associated with mica-rich schist, the layered metamorphic host rock composed mainly of mica and quartz, sometimes with sillimanite.

The site has been mined for various materials since 1863, including mica, beryl, and feldspar, and is now primarily known for its rich specimen variety, though it is not open to individual collecting.
