A fabulous vesuvianite crystal from the famous Jeffrey mine, Quebec, Canada. It has tender raspberry caps and apple-green areas. The crystal is 16 mm long, doubly terminated and gemmy. It has a strong glassy luster and fresh look. Very vivid and sparkling. For references see the 2013 issue of The Mineralogical Record vol. 44, # 4. In very good condition – some small contacts. On acrylic base.

Fascinating!
