Description

Plate of cream white pericline crystals with good lustre. Some crystals display textbook habitus, with possibly some twinning I could not clearly discern. In the vug, a 0.2 cm rutile var. sagenite develops on the faces of a pericline and on top of a small quartz crystal. Together, also some altered mica and possibly some minor palygorskite-like fibre.

Label erroneously mentions Cherbandung (Cervandone, CH), this specimen has been collected in the 60s-70s. From the former Kasper collection (CH).
