Tha main crystal here is about 4 x 1.5 x 1.5 cm in size, and seems perched in a secondary growth of lavender-colored manganese-rich vesuvianite. Under that nest, another green crystal pokes out of the lavender drapery. It is a very odd composition and I suspect that the green crystals formed first and ended up loose in a pocket, and were then later cemented together by secondary growth of the purple variety. It is a floater, 3-dimensional, complete all around! You can see that the main crystal has a very fat, lustrous, sharp termination.
