Fabulous color for this Manganoan Vesuvianite specimen. Vesuvianites have splendid and intensely colored purple crystals. They are gem with very flamboyant display and high luster. All crystals are with fresh look and are strongly light reflective. Fine quality Vesuvianite – very vivid, very sparkling. For references see the 2013 issue of The Mineralogical Record vol. 44, # 4. Some contacts and nicks. On acrylic base.

Charming small fantasy!
