Superb grass-green colored Chromian Vesuvianite crystal – the rarest and most desirable color from the famous Jeffrey mine, Quebec, Canada. The sharply terminated crystal has very saturated green color due to Chromium. The color is the ultimate green that is possible to find from the mine. The crystal is with pointy tip. The quality is outstanding – gem crystal with lustrous faces which strongly reflect the light giving superb sparkling appearance. Rare Chromian Vesuvianite from this great now closed mine. For references see the 2013 issue of The Mineralogical Record vol. 44, # 4. In good condition – some contacts at the lower part. On acrylic base.
