Item Description
An approximately 3.25-cm idocrase (vesuvianite) crystal from this classic and important locality! It has probably been sealed in this pharmacy bottle for 100 years! Valued at $200-300, I would think. GEMMY WHEN BACKLIT but of course it IS stuck in the bottle and hard to display unless you bust it out.
