Item Description
These are truly some of the most distinctive crystals in the world because virtually no other species has this color. These Manganese-bearing Vesuvianite crytals are ridiculously vibrant with a reddish-violet color on the terminations, and a light purple color on the prism faces. The crystals have excellent color for the size. The Jeffrey Mine is now completely defunct and these amazing Vesuvianite specimens are no longer being found.
