Superb Vesuvianite crystal. It is transparent and gem. Vesuvianite has very high quality and a pleasing apple-green color. It is well shaped with a sharp pointy tip and a glassy luster. For references see the 2013 issue of The Mineralogical Record vol. 44, # 4. In very good condition – one small nicks and back side contact. On acrylic base.

Marvelous!
