Description

Elegant miniature consisting of a rich drusy of olive green vesuvianite crystals decorating an entire face of rodingite matrix. Vesuvianite crystals are mostly flathead and very lustrous and display one of the top qualities available for the area, with excellent lustre and some local gemminess.

The main crystal is a flathead individual, with a secondary pencilhead termination on its side. 

Very good quality. Specimens like these are true oldtimers, as the locale is off-limits to collectors.
