Talc (rare locality specimen)

Item Description

A very hard to find specimen of crystallized Talc from the Austrian Alps! This attractive thumbnail features thin blades of pearly Talc with a gorgeous seafoam blue-green color, free of matrix. This is the only specimen of Talc that we've had to offer from the Zederhaus Valley, and you can only find pieces like this in deep, comprehensive collections like this one. A great rarity for anybody who collects thumbnails or minerals from the Alps.
From prestigious collection of Alex Schauss (#376), a lifelong thumbnail mineral collector, whose collection we recently purchased ( https://www.irocks.com/collector-interview-alex-schauss )
