Fascinating vesuvianite crystals with raspberry caps from the famous Jeffrey mine, Quebec, Canada. The sharp and well terminated crystals are gemmy. They have a purple color to saturated and rich raspberry caps. The luster is very strong and the crystals are glassy. Some are doubly terminated. For references see the 2013 issue of The Mineralogical Record vol. 44, # 4. In very good condition – some small contacts. On acrylic base.
Mesmerizing!
