Chrome Tremolite
stock #8.AE-881
Mogok, Pyin-oo-Lwin District
Mandalay Division,
Burma (Myanmar)
5.9 x 3.6 CM (small cabinet/ large miniature)
price: $200
A single sizable (3 CM) crystal of rich green Chrome Tremolite sits on a Calcite matrix. The crystal form is impressively sharp for one of such size, this is not the typical "blob" of Tremolite! Great color and gemmy on thin edges, these are not common in general and rare in such aesthetic specimen.
