An old time example of chrysotile from Tilly Foster!!! This specimen consists of a single elongated group of parallel crystal fibers!!!
The specimen has a pleasing light yellow-green color and marked translucence!!! This specimen was originally packed inside an antique hand-made
test tube when we first unpacked the Peppis collection!!! Peppis wrote in his diary about his collecting trip to Tilly Foster and had many specimens from
the locality (however he did not self-collect this specimen)!!! Classic old time material!!! The pics hardly do it justice!!!
Good luck and be sure to check out my other exciting mineral auctions on ebay!!!
This specimen is from the Albert Peppis Collection and retains his original label
- detailed information about both him and the collection are on our
"About Me" page - so be sure to check it out!!!
