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

Jewel!
