A beautiful cluster of Vesuvianite with rich purple color. An extravagant sculpture of them, sticking out all over. The perfect some bi-terminated crystals are gemmy and have very pleasing intense purple color with cream tips. With very fresh appearance, exemplary lustrous and sparkling. Overall the finest Vesuvianite in the world came from this great inactive now mine. For references see the issue of The Mineralogical Record vol. 44, # 4. Some contacts (seen on the photos).

Cute and colorful!
