Pleasing color for this Manganoan Vesuvianite specimen. Vesuvianites are intensely colored purple crystals. They are gem with very flamboyant display and strong luster. All crystals are with very fresh look. Almost a complete floater – very minor contacts. Displays beautifully all over 360 degree. Fine quality Vesuvianite – very vivid, very sparkling. For references see the 2013 issue of The Mineralogical Record vol. 44, # 4. In excellent condition – some small nicks. On acrylic base.
Charming!
