Ex. Robert Lindegger collection.

This is an excellent LARGE and very 3-dimensional specimen of lustrous, sharp, undamaged GEM orange grossular garnet crystals to ~1.3 cm. aesthetically scattered across a contrasting white matrix. Good Jeffrey mine garnets are some of the best in the world, if not the best, and this wonderful specimen displays great, stands on its own, and is VERY showy, really catching the eye across the room. From the collection of Robert Lindegger of Scarboro, Ontario. A real Canadian mineral classic and increasingly rare in this size and quality! Mark Cross photos.
