Vesuvianite (classic locale) Irv Brown Coll.

Item Description

A striking, most colorful thumbnail pair of rich lilac and yellow-green vesuvianite crystals from the famous Jeffrey Mine. The highly lustrous, gemmy to translucent, lilac crystal pops with vivid color, while the yellow-green terminated gem looks like a Wolodarsk heliodor! The two colors are from different oxidations states of iron. Very nifty and colorful examples from the Irv Brown Thumbnail Collection.
