Description

Nice prismatic viridine crystals, a green variety of andalusite, in a matrix of white quartz, metallic black hematite and creamy yellow kyanite. Tarantola et al. (2019) analyzed these minerals and found high amounts of Mn, responsible for these colours. This big sample of almost 0.5 Kg is a very good representative sample for the locality and the species.

Found in 2025.
