Item Description

Chlorite is RARE in any form from the Alpine-type deposits at Tormiq. An aesthetic cluster of sharply terminated, glassy, quartz crystals is richly included with pastel-green chlorite. There is a nifty and striking, 1.5 cm, tall, water-clear window into the interior with no chlorite at the base of the termination of the large crystal. Very weird and interesting! Leave it to intrepid Himalayas dealer Herb Obodda to find such a rarity.
