This specimen consists of numerous hexagonal, tabular or columnar crystals of lilac colored chromian amesite on snow white calcite and matrix. Amesite is a rare kaolinite-serpentine group silicate mineral. Chromian amesite is even rarer. The xls average 5-7mm in length. There are also a few small clusters of an unidentified bright green mineral found on this specimen. It could possibly be grossular, but I cannot either confirm or deny it. There is a crack running through the specimen but it is stable. Very nice and rare specimen from the Mother Country!
