Description

Clove brown axinite group on matrix -  bright striated crystals to 20mm  from this famous locality which produced world class specimens over 20 years ago. Good condition, brilliant luster with only very minor edge nicks.

Not often available in this size and quality

Please note some of the images suggest the crystals have a powdery white coating - this is an optical effect caused by the fine surface striations and actinolite inclusions (see Burlakov Min Rec.30(1999))

Prism faces are actually mirror bright to the eye
