Item Description
How often does one see specimens of Talc, let alone with such beautiful color? Vermont is perhaps not the most prolific mineral producer in the U.S., but this piece is from a find in the early 2000s that produced some very attractive and hard to find Talc specimens. This piece has a lively mint green color, with a soft vitreous exterior and foliated crystals. The crystals are actually somewhat GEMMY, which is very rare in my experience with Talc specimens. Hard to find on the market, enjoy.
