Splendid specimen of gemmy Vesuvianite var. Manganoan crystals from the famous Jeffrey mine, Quebec, Canada. The Vesuvianite crystals are fresh and sparkling with rich purple color, and striking fuchsia caps. They are glassy, lustrous and very well crystallized. For references see the 2013 issue of The Mineralogical Record vol. 44, # 4. In very good condition – some small contacts. On acrylic base.

Fascinating!
