A high grade quality Chromian Vesuvianite with color variation from apple green to grass green color – the rarest and most desirable color. The perfect crystals have rich green color due to Chromium and some lighter green zones. Many o them are doubly terminated. The quality is outstanding – gem crystals with very lustrous faces that strongly reflect the light which gives superb sparkling appearance. Beautiful 360 degree display. Overall stunning green Vesuvianite from this great, now inactive mine. For references see the issue of The Mineralogical Record vol. 44, # 4. In excellent condition – some small contact areas. On acrylic base.

Rare green jewels!
