Striking Manganoan Vesuvianite crystals decorated by minor Garnet var. Grossular. The Vesuvianite is gemmy and has amazing vivid purple color. The luster is strong and the crystals are glassy. Atop are seen small cream Garnet var. Grossular crystals which is one unique combination. Displays all over 360 degree. For references see the 2013 issue of The Mineralogical Record vol. 44, # 4. In excellent condition – some small nicks and contacts. On acrylic base.
Fantastic!
