Vesuvianite (Chromian)

Item Description

These are truly some of the most distinctive crystals in the world because few species have this color. These Chromium-bearing Vesuvianite crytals are rather vibrant with an intense green color. This aesthetic thumbnail specimen shows prismatic crystals with the classic rich green hues at the termination with a lighter green tone in the center - which are probably not Chromium-bearing. They have good luster and form as well. Pieces like this are becoming very scarce on the market, and truly should be appreciated for the uniqueness. The Jeffrey Quarry is now completely defunct and these amazing Vesuvianite specimens are no longer being found.
