Splendid specimen of Vesuvianite decorated by Diopside at the top. Vesuvianites have varying color from purple to pleasing apple-green. They have very strong luster - sparking, shiny and gemmy crystals. Many are doubly terminated. Diopsides are transparent and gemmy with pleasant honey color. Displays all over 360 degree. For references see the 2013 issue of The Mineralogical Record vol. 44, # 4. In very good condition – some small contacts. On acrylic base.
Marvelous!
