An outstanding vesuvianite specimen of intergrowing crystals sticking out all over from the famous Jeffrey mine, Quebec, Canada. The perfectly terminated crystals are gem. They have an amazing color variation from apple-green centers to saturated purple and rich fuchsia at the caps. The luster is very strong and the crystals are transparent and glassy. Very sparkling and shiny.  For references see the 2013 issue of The Mineralogical Record vol. 44, # 4. In good condition – some contacts.

Mesmerizing!
