Exceptional Chromian Vesuvianite – the rarest and most desirable color. The perfect many doubly terminated crystals have very intense dark emerald-green color due to Chromium. This is extremely rare color and usually the crystals are inosculated in the base. The color is the ultimate green that is possible to find from the mine. The quality is outstanding – gem crystals with very lustrous faces that strongly reflect the light which gives superb sparkling appearance. Displays beautifully from all sides. Overall stunning green Vesuvianite from this great, now inactive mine. For references see the issue of The Mineralogical Record vol. 44, # 4. In superb condition. On acrylic base.

A top grade quality Chromian Vesuvianite!
