Description

Rare phenakite in schist from this classic Alpine locality. The crystal is rather crude, as expected in this matrix, however it does show the textbook hexagonal profile, with some relatively rough surface and a pretty good, almost glassy, lustre.

Difficult to spot on the market, it is usually found in older collections like in this case (former collection Lehmann, CH).
