Item Description
The Tilly Foster Mine is famous for a wide variety of pseudomorphs and this is a very fine thumbnail from this extinct old iron mine. Lizardite (the most common sperpentine species) has replaced a sharp, multi-faced complete all-around chondrodite crystal. One end is bruised, but has minimal impact to the quality of this fine rarity.
