Striking Manganoan Vesuvianite thumbnail crystals decorated by Garnet var. Grossular from the famous Jeffrey mine, Quebec, Canada. The Vesuvianite crystals are gemmy and have purple color to amazing fuchsia caps. The luster is strong and the crystals are glassy. Atop are seen small cream Garnet var. Grossular crystals which is one unique combination. Complete all over 360 degree. For references see the 2013 issue of The Mineralogical Record vol. 44, # 4. In excellent condition – some small nicks. On acrylic base.
Charming!
