Fabulous color for this Manganoan Vesuvianite specimen. Vesuvianites have splendid and intensely colored purple crystals. They are with very fresh look and are strongly light reflective. Fine Vesuvianite, rarely found long time ago – very vivid, very sparkling. Displays nicely from both sides. For references see the issue of The Mineralogical Record vol. 44, # 4. In excellent condition – some small contacts. On acrylic base.

Charming!
