Fabulous color for this Manganoan Vesuvianite specimen. Vesuvianites have splendid and intensely colored purple crystals. They are with very fresh look and are strongly light reflective. Finest Vesuvianite, rarely found long time ago – very vivid, very sparkling. For references see the issue of The Mineralogical Record vol. 44, # 4. In superb condition. On acrylic base.

Charming!
