Colorful cluster of Manganoan Vesuvianite with two colors. The crystals are slightly gemmy and have very pleasing dark purple color with some apple-green areas at the sides. With fresh appearance, lustrous and sparkling. Overall, the finest Vesuvianite in the world came from this great, now - inactive mine. For references see the issue of The Mineralogical Record vol. 44, # 4. In good condition – some side contacts. On acrylic base.
Rich purple!
