Colorful thumbnail specimen of Manganoan Vesuvianite crystal decorated with minor Garnet var. Grossular from the famous Jeffrey mine, Quebec, Canada. The Vesuvianite is gemmy with rich and saturated purple color to amazing fuchsia caps. The luster is strong and the crystal is glassy. It is doubly terminated. Small cream colored Garnet var. Grossular crystals grow above which is one unique combination. It displays all over 360 degree. For references see the 2013 issue of The Mineralogical Record vol. 44, # 4. In very good condition – some small contacts. On acrylic base.

Gorgeous!
