Gorgeous multicolor Vesuvianite specimen. The crystals have marvelous color variation from intense purple to very pleasing and rich honey-orange and red. Vesuvianites are gemmy and glassy. Some crystals are doubly terminated. On the back side are seen Clinochlore crystals.  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!
