Exceptional doubly terminated and dark grass-green colored Chromian Vesuvianite thumbnail crystal – the rarest and most desirable color. The perfect well terminated crystal has very saturated dark green color due to Chromium. This is an extremely rare color. The color is the ultimate green that is possible to find from the mine. The crystal is doubly terminated with pointy tip and flat bottom. The quality is outstanding – gem crystal with lustrous faces which strongly reflect the light giving superb sparkling appearance. Rare Chromian Vesuvianite from this great now closed mine. For references see the 2013 issue of The Mineralogical Record vol. 44, # 4. In very good condition – some small contacts. With acrylic base.
