Description

A nice example of clinochlore var seraphinite with nice botryoidal-shaped surface of the crystal aggregates which exhibit a nice greenish coulour where the interior is visible. This one comes out of a small lot of samples from Dr. H.J. Wilke only labeled Russia so the Korshunovskoye Iron mine is an educated guess.
