Rare chromian vesuvianite crystals with a saturated grass green color – the most desirable color from the famous Jeffrey mine, Quebec, Canada. The well pointy terminated crystals have rich dark green color due to chromium. The quality is excellent – gemmy crystals with very lustrous faces that strongly reflect the light, which gives superb sparkling appearance. Some small light green garnet var. grossular crystals and black chromite spots are seen too. For references see the issue of The Mineralogical Record vol. 44, # 4. Some contacts. On acrylic base.

Cool chromian vesuvianite!
