Talc var. Steatite ps. Enstatite with Chlorapatite

Item Description

Outstanding, complete all-around, well-terminated, tabular pseudomorph from this classic Norway locale. Talc variety Steatite has replaced a large Enstatite crystal (Pyroxene Group species). The bit of attached pastel-pink Chlorapatite is a typical accessory and fine contrast. Steatite is a massive variety of Talc with a greasy feeling. Ex Bill and Anne Cook collection. Seldom on the market in this size and quality. Many of these date to the late 1800s and early 1900s era of exploration here.
