Description
Group of reddish-brown axinite crystals from the Combe de la Selle deposit, best known for its helmet-shaped prehnites, located upstream from Saint-Christophe-en-Oisans, Isère.
The crystals, which are multi-centimetre (3.5cm), are slightly lacking in brilliance and transparency, but the locality is unusual for this species.
Sample from the former collection of Philippe Glastre, a collector specializing in the Oisans region.
