This is a large, very rich cluster of bright, gemmy vesuvianite crystals with GLASSY luster, from the famous Jeffrey Mine, which closed to further mining around a year ago - meaning no more of these world-class vesuvianites. These crystals have a really nice balance of the classic purple and green colors.
