The habit of these crystals of Diopside is uncommon: although apparently tabular, the fine vertical striations and the presence of the pinacoid show that they are, in fact, very flat prisms. Their color and luster are excellent, and they are implanted on a group of prismatic crystals of greenish yellow Vesuvianite with intense violet terminations. The Jeffrey mine has been closed since 2001, so it is very difficult to find this type of specimen from this locality.
