Item Description
Highly representative specimen of Pargasite, one of the earliest-defined members of the Amphibole group, with display quality: The jet-black, lustrous, subhedral crystals (up to 1.2 cm) stand out very nicely against the crystalline, white Calcite. From the impressive and expansive collection of Dr. Robert J. Lauf, this is a PUBLISHED and Type Locality specimen, both of which are of particular interest to collectors. Ex. Bornsche collection, with note card, author-signed book, and any old labels included.
