Description

A nice specimen of a Wollastonite crystal on green Vesuvianite, from the Crestmore Quarries, in California.  This is the largest Vesuvainite I've personally seen from this locality

 

This specimen is from the collection of Jerry Baird (who had Bairdite named after him), who acquired it from Bob Pedersen
