Pretty specimen of Manganoan Vesuvianite and Diopside from the famous Jeffrey mine, Quebec, Canada. The Vesuvianite crystals have an intense purple color to some minor apple-green areas and very strong luster. The colors are rich and the crystals are gemmy. The Diopsides are small tabular crystals. They are transparent and gemmy with bright caramel color to colorless. The specimen displays all over 360 degree. For references see the 2013 issue of The Mineralogical Record vol. 44, # 4. In very good condition – some minor contacts. On acrylic base.
Fantastic!
