A small, complete floater, formed by two main groups of flattened crystals with polycrystalline growths on the faces along the main axis of the crystal, with great luster and an intense violet color. These are accompanied by small prismatic crystals, also of Vesuvianite. From a classic Canadian locality, with the mine closed since 2001 and from which it is increasingly difficult to find quality specimens.
