Description

A three dimensional quasi-floater given by over two dozens of dark green clinochlore packages. Where open, the lustre of the mica packages is evident, and so is its exfoliating nature. 
Solid and quite sizeable for the locality, this comes from the former collection Kasper (CH), which was assembled around the 60s-70s. 
Hard to find in this quality nowadays.
