Beautiful single Vesuvianite crystal with magnificent purple color. The perfect bi-terminated crystal is gemmy and has very pleasing intense purple color with some apple-green on the tips. With very fresh appearance, exemplary lustrous and sparkling – first grade quality. Overall, the finest Vesuvianite in the world came from this great, now - inactive mine. For references see the issue of The Mineralogical Record vol. 44, # 4. In very good condition – some small nicks and contacts. On acrylic base.
Gorgeous!
