They are gem with very flamboyant display. The Vesuvianites have exemplary luster and very fresh look. Very vivid, very sparkling. Atop are seen small white Garnet var. Grossular crystals which is one unique combination. For references see the 2013 issue of The Mineralogical Record vol. 44, # 4. In excellent condition – some outside edge contacts. On acrylic base.
Superb and rare combo!
