Description

This is a very rich specimen of this great variety of chromian clinochlore. The front is rich covered by millions of lustrous little crystals. But that's not what it's all about. The larger crystals show very fine lustrous surfaces and an excellent color. In backlight you can see a magnificant color! The max. crystalsize is 6 mm, which is quit a lot for this mineral. One crystal is broken, but it's not the one of the main crystals.
