Gorgeous Vesuvianite specimen with intergrown crystals sticking out all over. The well terminated crystals are translucent to transparent and gem. They have a marvelous color variation from dark lavender-purple to yellow-green caps. The luster and the colors are exceptional. That is among the most intense colors that the mine produced. For references see the 2013 issue of The Mineralogical Record vol. 44, # 4. Some contacts. On acrylic base.
Irresistible!
