Superb and unusual combination of Manganoan Vesuvianite with Garnet var. Grossular crystals. The Vesuvianite crystals are small and have a color variation from purple to very saturate and rich fuchsia-purple at the caps. The luster is good and the crystals are glassy. Atop are seen gemmy cream colored 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 very good condition – some small contacts. On acrylic base.
Wonderful rarity!
