A killer top quality manganoan vesuvianite specimen of intergrowing crystals from the famous Jeffrey mine, Quebec, Canada. The perfectly terminated crystals are gem. They have an amazing color variation from purple to very saturate and rich fuchsia-purple at the caps. The luster is very strong and the crystals are transparent and glassy. Among the most intense colors which the mine produced. The colorfulness of the specimen is gorgeous. For references see the 2013 issue of The Mineralogical Record vol. 44, # 4. In very good condition – some small contact. On acrylic base.
Exceptional!
