6.2 x 4.0 x 2.3 cm. This is a cluster of gemmy, apple-green crystals of vesuvianite, to 1.5 cm in length, with exemplary lustre like glass. The cluster is an extravagant forest of them, sticking out all over. Many are translucent, more so than usual. The piece also hosts a few acicular crystals of groutite, to 1.5 mm in length.
