TH26S3: Diopside with Titanite and Graphite
A novelty at Tucson 2010. With the exceptional Tanzanite with Prehnite also appeared from Merelani some crystals of Diopside of notable size.

.
MA16H8: Diopside with Vesuvianite
The sample has great quality. It is very esthetic because the Diopside crystals are more aerial and distinguishable than usual at this find. Perfectly defined, transparent and bright, they are placed on a base of prismatic crystals of Vesuvianite sharing yellow and violet colors.
Jeffrey Mine, ↓200 m, Asbestos, Les Sources RCM, Estrie, Québec  Canada (09/2005)

.
MJ87G9: Diopside with Vesuvianite
The sample, exceptional, is from a recent find in the now closed Jeffrey Quarry. The pocket, being big, produced very few specimens of such high quality. Diopside crystals have an uncommon habit: they are apparently tabular, but fine vertical striations and the presence of the pinacoid show they really are very flat prisms. The color and luster are excellent and the transparency extraordinary. If all this seems not enough, their association with prismatic greenish-yellow and violet Vesuvianite crystals adds even more interest and visual appeal to the sample.
Jeffrey Mine, ↓200 m, Asbestos, Les Sources RCM, Estrie, Québec  Canada (09/2005)
Specimen size: 12 × 7 × 5.5 cm = 4.72” × 2.76” × 2.17”
.
MH90Y0: Diopside with Vesuvianite
One of the scarce exceptional samples from the famous find of 2005 at the Jeffrey quarry, currently closed. The Diopside crystals have an uncommon shape, being apparently tabular, but with fine vertical striations and the presence of the pinacoid show they really are very flat prisms. Their color and luster are excellent and the transparency extraordinary. To all this we must add their association with prismatic greenish-yellow and violet Vesuvianite crystals.
Jeffrey Mine, ↓200 m, Asbestos, Les Sources RCM, Estrie, Québec  Canada (09/2005)
Specimen size: 11.3 × 8.7 × 6 cm = 4.45” × 3.43” × 2.36”

Main crystal size: 1 × 0.5 cm = 0.39” × 0.20”
.
MM88G7: Diopside with Vesuvianite
The specimen is from a recent find by local searchers at the Jeffrey Quarry, now closed. Even considering that the cavity was very big very few pieces have such high quality. The tabular habit of the crystals is very uncommon, the fine vertical striations and the presence of the pinacoid demonstrate they are very flat prisms. Their color and brightness are excellent and the transparency exceptional. Even more, their association with minor violet Vesuvianite adds more interest and glamour to the sample.
Jeffrey Mine, Asbestos, Les Sources RCM, Estrie, Québec  Canada (09/2005)
Specimen size: 3.5 × 3 × 2.5 cm = 1.38” × 1.18” × 0.98”
.
MF16G7: Diopside with Vesuvianite
The specimen is from a recent find by local searchers at the Jeffrey Quarry, now closed. Even considering that the cavity was very big very few pieces have such high quality. The tabular habit of the crystals is very uncommon, the fine vertical striations and the presence of the pinacoid demonstrate they are very flat prisms. Their color and brightness are excellent and the transparency exceptional. Even more, their association with good quality Vesuvianite of different color, green and violet adds more interest and glamour to the sample.
Jeffrey Mine, Asbestos, Les Sources RCM, Estrie, Québec  Canada (09/2005)
Specimen size: 12.7 × 6 × 5.5 cm = 5.00” × 2.36” × 2.17”

Main crystal size: 1.3 × 0.9 cm = 0.51” × 0.35”
.
5MC51J7: Diopside, Vesuvianite
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.
