Vesuvianite on Feldspar

Vesuvianite, also known as idocrase, is a green, brown, yellow, or blue silicate mineral. Vesuvianite occurs as tetragonal crystals in skarn deposits and limestones that have been subjected to contact metamorphism. It was first discovered within included blocks or adjacent to lavas on Mount Vesuvius, hence its name.

In these particular specimens there are Fine well terminated sharp edges crystals with beautiful shape. The mine produced few specimens of the aesthetic quality of this cluster which is gemmy, lustrous, and has a very pleasing Bronze color. The largest crystal measures 2.7 cm in length. Most of the pieces is Double terminated and Complete all around! and I expect few more such to show up on the market over time.

THIS HAS BETTER COLOR, more colourful, in person! indicating some amount of gemminess. The luster on the striated faces is superb, with the terminations being complete with exceptional shape and luster we have seen.
