Splendid combo of Manganoan Vesuvianite and Diopside from the famous Jeffrey mine, Quebec, Canada. The Vesuvianite crystals have intense purple color and very strong luster. The colors are rich and the crystals are gemmy. The Diopsides are transparent and gemmy with amber-brown color. The specimen displays 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.
Marvelous!
