A cool specimen of gemmy vesuvianite var. manganoan from the famous Jeffrey mine, Quebec, Canada. The crystals have a marvelous color variation from intense and saturated purple to very pleasing honey-orange and red-fuchsia. The vesuvianites are gemmy, glassy and sparkling. Some small diopside crystals are seen too. For references see the 2013 issue of The Mineralogical Record vol. 44, # 4. In very good condition – some small contacts.
Irresistible!
