Item Description
A relatively hard to find specimen of "Uralite" from the Alps in Italy. According to mindat, Uralite is defined as pseudomorphs of Hornblende group minerals, mainly Actinolite, after a Pyroxene group mineral, mainly Augite. This piece features some decent reference crystals with a soft green color. Not common on the market, and a decent pickup for any collector of less common material.
