A striking specimen of vesuvianite crystals from the famous Jeffrey mine, Quebec, Canada. They have from rich and saturated purple color to apple-green at the tips. The crystals are gemmy with a glassy luster and a strong light reflection. The vesuvianite crystals are well shaped. They are very fresh and sparkling. Jeffrey mine produced some of the finest vesuvianite pieces in the world and this is a superb representative. The mine is closed since a long time. For references see the 2013 issue of The Mineralogical Record vol. 44, # 4. Some contacts. On acrylic base.

Overwhelming!
