Splendid combo of bi-color Vesuvianite and Diopside. The Vesuvianites have a charming color variation from intense purple to apple-green. The crystals are gem with strong luster and are well shaped. Many Vesuvianite crystals are doubly terminated. Some Diopsides grow above. They are transparent and gemmy with cherry color. Complete all over 360 degree. For references see the 2013 issue of The Mineralogical Record vol. 44, # 4. In very good condition – some contacts. On acrylic base.

Beautiful!
