Item Description
How often does one see specimens of Talc, let alone with such beautiful color? This piece has a soft blue green color, with a beautiful exterior luster and foliated / lamellar crystals on matrix. The crystals are actually somewhat GEMMY when strongly backlit, which is very rare in my experience with Talc specimens. Hard to find on the market, enjoy. From the collection of Wouter Van Tichelen by way of noted Alpine collector, Rolf Wein.
