Superb color for this Manganoan Vesuvianite specimen. Vesuvianites have splendid and intensely colored purple crystals. They are gemmy with very flamboyant display. Many are doubly terminated. Vesuvianite have exemplary luster. All crystals are with very fresh look and are strongly light reflective. Fine Vesuvianite quality – very vivid, very sparkling. For references see the issue of The Mineralogical Record vol. 44, # 4. In excellent condition – some small contacts. On acrylic base.

Fantastic!
