This amazing specimen of Vesuvianite was collected in the 1960's by A. Stevenson in Harcourt, Ontario, Canada. The specimen is a beautiful rich gemmy green vesuvianite crystal, and is fully terminated. This rare and premium specimen is in excellent condition. A fantastic addition to any collection!
Vesuvianite was first discovered on Mount Vesuvius in Italy in the 18th century, hence its name. It typically occurs as a green, brown, yellow, or blue-green crystal, and is often found in metamorphic and igneous rocks. The alternate name, Idocrase, is from the Greek eidos “form”, and krasis “mixture”, because Vesuvianite often appears to combine the crystal forms of other minerals. It has also been used as a gemstone.

Aegirine, also known as acmite, is a rare and stunning black mineral. It is found in many locations around the world, and this outstanding specimen comes from the Poudrette Quarry at Mount Saint Hilaire, where it is often found in association with Microcline.
Aegirine is usually black, greenish-black, or brownish-black in color and has a glassy or vitreous luster. It has a hardness of 6 to 6.5 on the Mohs scale, which means it is relatively hard and durable. Aegirine is also known for its straight, needle-like crystals that can grow up to several centimeters in length.
Microcline, a member of the feldspar mineral family, is known for its beautiful color variations and distinctive twinning patterns. When paired with Aegirine, the result is a striking and eye-catching contrast of colors.
Aegirine is believed to have properties associated with protection, energy balancing, and spiritual growth. Microcline, being a feldspar, is often linked to creativity and intuition. The combination of these minerals is thought to enhance their individual metaphysical properties.
This Aegirine on Microcline crystal is the perfect combination for those looking for a unique and beautiful addition to their mineral collection!
