Marvelous bi-color Vesuvianite specimen. The Vesuvianite crystals are gem with charming color variations from rich purple centers to apple-green tips. The colors are intense, vivid and the contrast is very strong. With exemplary glassy luster and very well crystallized. Some crystals are doubly terminated. It displays beautifully all over 360 degree. For references see the 2013 issue of The Mineralogical Record vol. 44, # 4. In very good condition – some small contacts and nicks. On acrylic base.
Fantastic Vesuvianite!
