Item Description
A large, complete floater crystal (or near-floater - there is just one small contacted corner) of Vesuvianite from Sierra de Cruces, a locality know for its Grossulars and Vesuvianites. The doubly-terminated Vesuvianite has complex, stepped terminations with pyramidal structures, and the color is the classic yellow-olive brown for the location. The luster is very good, and the faces are complex with many fine steps. This aesthetic specimen is definitely an old timer. HUGE CRYSTAL FOR THE LOCALITY, and hard to value!
