Rare chromian vesuvianite crystals with a very saturated grass green color – the most desirable color from the famous Jeffrey mine, Quebec, Canada. The well terminated pointy crystals have rich dark green color due to Chromium. The quality is excellent – gemmy crystals with very lustrous faces that strongly reflect the light, which gives superb sparkling appearance. Some brighter green diopside is seen too. For references see the issue of The Mineralogical Record vol. 44, # 4. Some contacts. On acrylic base.

Choice chromian vesuvianite!
