Splendid gemmy Vesuvianite var. Manganoan specimen from the famous Jeffrey mine, Quebec, Canada. The Vesuvianite crystals are purple with different intensity of the color. They are glassy, lustrous and very well crystallized. Very fresh and sparkling. It is crystallized all over 360 degree and displays beautifully from all sides. For references see the 2013 issue of The Mineralogical Record vol. 44, # 4. In very good condition – some small contacts. On acrylic base.

Fascinating!
