Item Description
Superb cluster of sharp, terminated, incredibly lustrous crystals of Manganvesuvianite. The largest of the Manganvesuvianites range up to nearly 1 cm long, and they span the specimen in one giant 6 cm-across pocket. Their luster is high and any good lighting brings out the deep red color of the crystals. Very aesthetic, sparkling piece overall of this rare species. LARGE specimen, very rich, valued $900
