Item Description
These are some of the more attractive and unusual Vesuvianite crystals to come out of any "Alpine cleft" locality. This piece features dozens of sharp, VERY lustrous, gemmy, "root beer" colored prism of Vesuvianite up to 9 mm with white Calcite rhombs. The Vesuvianites are good quality, and certainly remind me of crystals that I have seen from the Italian Alps.
