A striking small specimen of vesuvianite var. manganoan from the famous Jeffrey mine, Quebec, Canada. The pointy terminated crystals are sharp and gem. They have an amazing purple color. The luster is strong and the crystals are glassy. For references see the 2013 issue of The Mineralogical Record vol. 44, # 4. In very good condition – some small contacts. On acrylic base.
Gorgeous!
