Vesuvianite -gem clear
Jeffrey Mine, Asbestos (now Val-des-Sources, Estrie,
Quebec, Canada
2.2 x 1.6 x .8 CM (thumbnail)
price: $340
Thumbnail of Gem Vesuvianite that has an unusual side crystal. On this a slender off shoot crystal juts out at an angle. It is not so unusual to see very tiny crystals encrusting the sides of Vesuvianites but this sort of prismatic crystal is very rare. in fine condition as seen, no damage or chipping, a clean prismatic contact is on the back side of the main crystal. The Jeffrey mine at one time produced many good Vesuvianites, but very fine pieces were always rare, and now there are no more of any quality.
