VESUVIANITE1

The Jeffrey Mine in Quebec closed several years ago. It was an important source of asbestos that was used in the heat shields of the Space Shuttle. Vesuvianite comes in a wide array of colors ranging from lavender-purple to yellow-green and occasionally bright pink. This large piece exhibits both colors, with great sparkle. It's in fine condition. It weighs 524 grams/ 1 pound 2.5 oz.
