Colorful Vesuvianite crystals. They have marvelous color variation from purple to very pleasing and rich honey-orange and red tip. The Vesuvianites are gemmy and glassy. The luster, the colors and the quality are strong. That is among the more intense colors that the mine produced. For references see the 2013 issue of The Mineralogical Record vol. 44, # 4. In good condition – some contacts. On acrylic base.
Irresistible!
