Tremolite (classic locality specimen) (ex Kay Robertson Collection)

Item Description

Campolungo is the type locality for Tremolite, and good matrix specimens like this are few and far between. This piece features lustrous, prismatic, "needle"-like crystals of white Tremolite in radial "sprays" on fine grained white Dolomite matrix. This is typical material from Campolungo, and would make a great addition to any European collection or a collection of minerals from the type locality. Ex Kay Robertson Collection (#6009). Kay is a prominent California collector, who specialized in European classics (see the article in the March-April, 2007 Mineralogical Record and the 50+ page article in the German Magazine "Mineralien Welt" November-December 2017).
