Vesuvianite (Manganoan)

Item Description

These are truly some of the most distinctive crystals in the world because virtually no other species has this amazing color. These Manganese-bearing Vesuvianite crytals are rather vibrant with an intense reddish-violet color. This eye-catching thumbnail specimen features prismatic crystals with the classic purplish-pink color with hints of green near the center. They have great 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. Minimal damage, but great shape overall.
