Killer top quality Manganoan Vesuvianite specimen with bright and striking color. The perfectly terminated crystals are gem. Many crystals are doubly terminated. They have an amazing color variation from purple to very saturate and rich fuchsia-purple at the caps. The color is brighter than usual. The luster is very strong and the crystals are glassy. Among the most intense colors which the mine produced. The colorfulness of the specimen is gorgeous. Displays all over 360 degree.  For references see the 2013 issue of The Mineralogical Record vol. 44, # 4. In very good condition - some small contacts. On acrylic base.
Outstanding!
