A mesmerizing specimen of gemmy vesuvianite crystals from the famous Jeffrey mine, Quebec, Canada. The perfect crystals to 26 mm have a rich apple-green color. The dominant crystals give beautiful and distinctive display. The quality is superb – translucent to gem and glassy crystals with very lustrous faces which strongly reflect the light. That gives a strong sparkling appearance. The crystals are very well shaped and sharp with pointy tips. It displays attractively from all sides. Overall stunning green vesuvianite from this great now closed mine. For references see the 2013 issue of The Mineralogical Record vol. 44, # 4. In very good condition – some small contacts. On acrylic base.
Outstanding!
