Item Description

Gemmy and lustrous, intergrown, lime-green vesuvianite spires cored with purple, manganoan vesuvianite form and very showy and classic specimen from the famous and now-closed Jeffrey Mine. The spires are complete all-around and pristine and have very gemmy tips. The basal crystals are broken, but are a very modest detraction, overall to this fine and aesthetic specimen. Valued at $400-500. MUCH BETTER IN PERSON.
