Description

Thick 'bush' of terminated hedenbergite crystals from Elba Island. The crystals depart from the hedenbergite matrix and then terminate freely, which is quite unusual for the locality. The drusy is filled with iron oxides, which were not removed to preserve the geological signature of the specimen.
Very intriguing and peculiar specimen, dated back to the 80s.
