Description

This is a colourful and also contrastful specimen with a single, intense emerald-green crystal of Pargasite on white matrix. Even though the Pargasite is not perfect, the crystal features several cleavages and faces as well and is almost gemmy. Pargasite is an uncommon member of the Amphibole group, and an unusually colourful one, at that. Very representative of the rather scarce, very colorful species and locality.
