Fascinating grass-green colored Chromian Vesuvianite crystals – the rarest and most desirable color from the famous Jeffrey mine, Quebec, Canada. The well terminated crystals have very saturated dark green color due to Chromium. The quality is superb – gem crystals with lustrous faces which strongly reflect the light giving superb sparkling appearance. Rare Chromian Vesuvianite from this great now closed mine. For references see the 2013 issue of The Mineralogical Record vol. 44, # 4. Some nicks and contacts. On acrylic base.
Jewel!
