Vesuvianite Rare Specimens

1- vesuvianite specimen with acrylic stand with printed labels

These beautiful Green& Pink Vesuvianite (Idocrase) are from the Jeffery Mine in Canada.

Vesuvianite, also known as Idocrase, is an aluminum calcium magnesium silicate mineral that crystallizes in the form of masses, columnar pillars, and small pyramidal and prismatic crystals. It is found mostly in shades of olive green, but can also occur as brown, yellow, white, purple, pink, and red.

Vesuvianite was first discovered in 1795 by German geologist Abraham Gottlob Werner. He chose to name it after the location of the specimen he examined, which was on the lower tiers of Mount Vesuvius in Naples, Italy.
