A stunning top-quality vesuvianite specimen from the renowned Jeffrey mine, Quebec, Canada. The sharply terminated prismatic crystals are transparent and gem. They display a breathtaking color gradient, ranging from apple-green and soft purple to a striking, rich raspberry at the crystal caps. The luster is very strong and the crystals are glassy. The dazzling color makes it an absolute marvel to behold. For references see the 2013 issue of The Mineralogical Record vol. 44, # 4. In very good condition – some outside edge contacts. On acrylic base.
World-class vesuvianite – truly a collector's gem and an eye-catching treasure!
