Gorgeous Vesuvianite specimen with intergrown crystals. They have marvelous color variation from intense purple to very pleasing and rich honey-orange-red. The caps are gemmy and the crystals are glassy. The luster, the colors and the quality are superb. 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!
