Striking thumbnail specimen of Manganoan Vesuvianite crystal from the famous Jeffrey mine, Quebec, Canada. The Vesuvianite crystal is gemmy with rich and saturated purple color to amazing fuchsia cap. The luster is strong and the crystal is glassy. This is the most intense color which the mine produced. For references see the 2013 issue of The Mineralogical Record vol. 44, # 4. In very good condition – some natural imperfections and a base contact. On acrylic base.

Killer color!
