Rare bi-colored and gemmy Diopside blades with Vesuvianite. The Diopsides are colorless with pleasing green areas. The quality is superb – gemmy, clear and transparent. The luster is very strong too. Green and gem Vesuvianite crystals with sharp pointy tips, add a nice accent. Less common Diopside from this great and closed mine. For references see the 2013 issue of The Mineralogical Record vol. 44, # 4. Small contacts and nicks. On acrylic base.
Superb!
