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 with very fresh look and are strongly light reflective. Very fine Vesuvianite coloration – very vivid, very sparkling. Displays from many angles. For references see the issue of The Mineralogical Record vol. 44, # 4. Some contacts (seen on the photos).

Gorgeous!
