Item Description
These are some of the more attractive and unusual Vesuvianite crystals to come out of any "Alpine type" cleft locality. This piece features many sharp, brilliantly lustrous, gemmy, "root beer" colored prisms of Vesuvianite up to 6 mm on white Adularia matrix. The Vesuvianites are good quality, and certainly remind me of crystals that I have seen from the Italian Alps.
