A striking specimen of vesuvianite crystals from the famous Jeffrey mine, Quebec, Canada. They have from rich and saturated purple color to apple-green at the tips. The crystals are gemmy with a glassy luster and strong light reflection. The vesuvianite crystals are well shaped and sharp. They are very fresh and sparkling. Jeffrey mine produced some of the finest vesuvianite pieces in the world and this is a superb representative. The mine is closed since a long time. For references see the 2013 issue of The Mineralogical Record vol. 44, # 4. Some contacts. On acrylic base.

Overwhelming!
