Item Description
A classic Italian Vesuvianite specimen from the well known locality at Bellecombe. The crystals on this specimen are extremely sharp and lustrous showing a gemmy golden-green color. The largest crystal measures 8 mm long. These Alpine Vesuvianites are not often seen on the market anymore, and are highly valued by European collectors, especially those who specialize in Alpine minerals. A great reference specimen of this hard to find historic material.
