Gorgeous Vesuvianite specimen with intergrown crystals. The perfectly terminated crystals are with pointy tips and many are doubly terminated. They have intense dark purple color. Above are grown small sparkling Clinochlore crystals. Displays nicely all over 360 degree. For references see the 2013 issue of The Mineralogical Record vol. 44, # 4. In excellent condition – some small contacts. On acrylic base.
Marvelous!
