Splendid combo of bi-color Vesuvianite and Diopside. Vesuvianites have from purple color to apple-green areas. The crystals are gem with a strong luster and are very well shaped. Some crystals are doubly terminated. Diopsides grow above. They are transparent and gemmy. The specimen has an aesthetic upright display. For references see the 2013 issue of The Mineralogical Record vol. 44, # 4. In excellent condition – some side contacts. On acrylic base.
Marvelous!
