Vesuvianite from this famous best of species locality really seldom occurs in crystals over 3 cm, and this giant is a single crystal of nearly 7 cm! It is a complete all around, long, tapering crystal with a perfect termination. Interestingly, it is a mix of colors, both pastel green color with hints of pastel lavender (manganoan rich), mixed within the same crystal. A large and important example, for what it is, from the noted collection of the late Dr. Art Soregaroli of Vancouver. 1980s vintage, from this world famous locality.
