Fabulous color for this Manganoan Vesuvianite specimen. Vesuvianites have splendid and intensely colored purple crystals with some small cream zones. They are gemmy with very flamboyant display. Vesuvianite have exemplary luster like glass - as it was faceted. All crystals are with very fresh look and are strongly light reflective. That is very fine Vesuvianite quality – very vivid, very sparkling. For references see the issue of The Mineralogical Record vol. 44, # 4. In very good condition – small contact areas. On acrylic base.
Charming fantasy!
