Description

Emerald-green clinochlore var pennine in matrix from an old locality. The label reads "Pyrosklerit", an old German synonym for a pseudomorph of clinochlore after pyroxene [Dana 6th, 668 (1892)]. This specimen was already sold on e-rocks in Jan/2016 (LGM515455) to Mr Chris Deroo, but the original label was not present with the specimen as we got it, so it will be delivered with a copy of the original.

Ex Chris Deroo specimen.
