A sparkling specimen of vesuvianite var. manganoan crystals in a cluster from the famous Jeffrey mine, Quebec, Canada. The small pointy terminated crystals are well shaped. They have a nice purple color. The luster is strong and the crystals are very sparkling. It displays all over 360 degree. For references see the 2013 issue of The Mineralogical Record vol. 44, # 4. In excellent condition – some small contacts. On acrylic base.
Cute!
