Gorgeous Vesuvianite specimen with intergrown, some doubly terminated crystals. They have marvelous color variation from intense dark purple to very pleasing apple-green. The caps are gem and glassy. The luster, the colors and the quality are exceptional. That is among the best and more intense colors that the mine produced. For references see the 2013 issue of The Mineralogical Record vol. 44, # 4. Some contacts. On acrylic base.
Absolutely irresistible!
