Item Description
The Jeffrey Mine is well-known for producing some of the finest and most attractive crystals of Vesuvianite in the world. The classic green colored crytals are iconic around the world, and highly sought after by collectors. This is a wonderful 4- specimen set of prismatic, sharp, lustrous, translucent, beautiful green colored Vesuvianites. All of the crystals are very good quality to boot. The smallest of the batch is arguably the nicest crystal as it has a glistening luster and nearly water clear transparency in areas. A great opportunity to pick up several nice pieces of this classci (and now hard to find material) since that the Jeffrey Mine is now completely finished, these amazing Vesuvianites will never been found again. Ex Charlie Key personal collection. Charlie is arguably the most sucessful dealer of the second half of the 20th century, along with being the namesake for TWO mineral species (Keyite and Ludlockite).
