Superb Vesuvianite specimen. The Vesuvianite crystals are gem with charming color variations from rich purple to apple-green. The colors are intense and the contrast is very strong. With exemplary glassy luster and well crystallized. Many crystals are doubly terminated. Diopsides grow above. They are transparent and gemmy. For references see the 2013 issue of The Mineralogical Record vol. 44, # 4. Some contacts.
Wonderful Vesuvianite!
