Well terminated vesuvianite prisms. The very elongated habit is characteristic of MSH. Many of the prisms impale water clear pseudo cubo-octahedra of apophyllite.

Under the right lighting, these prisms can be very pretty under a scope. You will need 10-15X. FOV in the first two photos is 4.4 x 6.3 mm. FOV in the third photo is 7.1 x 4.5 mm and about 17 x 15 mm in the fourth photo. This photo also shows some of the pther – more blocky - apophyllite xls on the specimen. One of these crystals even has a tiny tuft of embedded tuperssuatsiaite or raite.

As shown in the full view photo, the vesuvianite is naked eye visible, but you really need a scope to appreciate the vesuvianite. Under the right lighting, these prisms can be very pretty. You will need 10-15X
