Cool combo of bi-color Vesuvianite and Diopside. The Vesuvianites have a charming color variation from purple to apple-green. The crystals are gem with strong luster and are well shaped. Many Vesuvianite crystals are doubly terminated. Some Diopside plates grow above. They are transparent and gemmy. For references see the 2013 issue of The Mineralogical Record vol. 44, # 4. In good condition – some contacts and nicks. On acrylic base.

Pretty!
