Splendid Vesuvianite var. Manganoan from the famous Jeffrey mine, Quebec, Canada. The crystals are well terminated with pointy tips and some are doubly terminated. The Vesuvianite has intense dark purple color to raspberry caps. The luster is strong and the tips are gemmy. Displays nicely all over 360 degree. For references see the issue of The Mineralogical Record vol. 44, # 4. In very good condition – some small contacts. On acrylic base.
Attractive Vesuvianite!
