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

Gorgeous!
