Gorgeous colored Vesuvianite specimen with intergrown crystals. They have marvelous color variation from purple to very pleasing and rich fuchsia-red at the tips. The crystals 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.
Irresistible!
