Killer specimen of Vesuvianite var. Manganoan from the famous Jeffrey mine, Quebec, Canada. The Vesuvianite crystals are gem with charming color variations from rich and saturated dark purple to apple-green. The colors are intense and the contrast is very strong. It is with exemplary glassy luster and very well crystallized - very fresh and sparkling. Many crystals are doubly terminated. It is crystallized all over and displays beautifully from many sides. For references see the 2013 issue of The Mineralogical Record vol. 44, # 4. In very good condition – some small contacts.

Outstanding!
