Exceptional grass-green colored Chromian Vesuvianite crystals – the rarest and most desirable color from the famous Jeffrey mine, Quebec, Canada. The perfect well terminated crystals have very saturated emerald-green color due to Chromium. This is an extremely rare color. The color is the ultimate green that is possible to find from the mine. The crystals have pointy tips. The quality is outstanding – gem crystals with glassy-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 excellent condition – one micro nick and base part contact. On acrylic base.
