This is the loveliest Vesuvianite thumbnail that I have seen, for my tastes. The perfectly terminated crystals have a gemmy DEEP green color and superb luster that will knock your socks off in person....This is just a tremendous thumbnail, hands down. At first glance, you'd SWEAR this gem crystal must be a tsavorite garnet for the color intensity and gemminess. But, it's a humble old vesuvianite in exceptional form. These chrome-rich specimens were exceedingly rare at this now-closed locality, and I have had just a handful in 16 years of buying minerals from this mine.
Superb, razor-sharp, complete-all-around XL!

This rich, display-sized specimen hosts a number of elongated, sharply crystallized vesuvianites to nearly 2 cm. These are classic, forest-green vesuvianite crystals from the Italian Piedmont. Nice clusters like this have tended to stay in Italy with the collectors, and we seldom see (at least in the US) anything really good. Unique compared to other locales, these are immediately recognizable classics.
