Description

Sadanagaite is a very rare amphibole, after the publication of studies for the new classification of amphiboles (Hawthorne F C, Oberti R et alii.Am. Min. 2012) the sadanagaite is present in no more than 4 or 5 places in the world, and the specimens of the type locality are extremely rare. In this sample, some faces of some crystals are well visible and this makes it a very good sample.
