These Jeffrey Mine garnets have always been sought after, but much more so since the mine closed a couple of years back. Now they are quickly grabbed up whenever they become available. This specimen has super-gemmy and bright crystals to 0.7 cm, and it is distinguished by having nice 3-dimensionality, rather than being the usual flat plate with the crystals pressed together.
