A beautiful and striking cluster of super-glassy and gemmy, blocky, olive-green vesuvianite crystals from a classic Italian locality - Bellecombe in the Aosta Valley. The reflectivity and glassiness of these undamaged crystals are just fabulous. The dominating, large, blocky crystal is 1.9 cm and the larger, compound crystal is 2.3 cm. Superb older material from the Dr. Gary Hansen Collection.
