Featuring a central 2 cm crystal, doubly-terminated and wine-red, this is simply the most aesthetic and attractive miniature form the find I have seen yet. These started trickling out 2 years ago at Munich, and the flow has been pretty thin since. This piece, really, could hol dits own even with the classic Italian pieces said to be the world's best in previous centuries! The piece ALSO displays well from the other angle, with the dt crystal ATOP and the calcite serving as an accent at the base. TURST ME, its MUCH better in person and will blow you away for the quality you get for the price, compared to any previous finds of gemmyvesuvianite of this Italian alpine style.
