Description

Rich drusy of rare gismondine partly covering the green matrix. Some sharp, well-defined gismondine octahedrons stand out of the drusy, which hosts numerous rather crude crystals.

A good specimen from the area, once an Alpine classic from the Adamello area. Rather scarce material nowadays.
