Fabulous and colorful Vesuvianite specimen. Vesuvianite crystals are purple with splendid and intensely colored raspberry caps. They are gem with very flamboyant display. Vesuvianites have exemplary luster and nice striations. Some crystals are bi-terminated with very fresh look and are strongly light reflective. Fine Vesuvianite coloration, found long time ago – very vivid, very sparkling. For references see the issue of The Mineralogical Record vol. 44, # 4. In good condition – some contacts. On acrylic base.

Gorgeous!
