Description/Interesting Notes:
A magnificent and unique example of clinochlore from Italy!!! This specimen consists of a cluster of pristine, razor-sharp
crystals of clinochlore var. pennine!!! The crystals are actually gemmy and in person posses the unique property of exhibiting
deep dark chrome green color down the c-axis and brownish color through the prism faces!!! The crystals have a light coating of very tiny, microcrystals of
what appear to be quartz!!! The crystals are much more sharply defined and deeper in color than it appears in the pics!!! In person this is AMAZING material!!!
Some of the crystals also exhibit triangular zonations when viewed down the c-axis!!! This specimen is in magnificent condition all around!!! Must be
seen in person to be fully appreciated!!!
Good luck and be sure to check out my other exciting mineral auctions on ebay!!!
STAY TUNED!!! MORE AUCTIONS WILL BE ADDED MONDAY NIGHT FOR A SPECIAL 3-DAY AUCTION, ENDING THURSDAY JANUARY 6th!!!
HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!
