Geology Picture of the Day – Vesuvianite

While browsing through some recent geology related photos uploaded on flickr, I discovered the gallery of Daniel Russell, who goes by the flickr user name of Mineralogy. He has some absolutely incredible photos from his personal collection and is one of the most interesting that I’ve seen so far.

Today’s photo is the silicate mineral called Vesuvianite. This particular specimen was collected in the state of New Jersey.
