Description
Beautiful and rare axinite axe crystal, bright and well-formed, on gangue, from Bachat-Bouloud, Chamrousse, Isère.
The Bachat-Boulou fissures provided some of the finest and largest axinite specimens known in the 1970s.
Axinite forms in amphibole rocks in the same way as epidotes, with which it is often associated.
