Description
An old mineralogical specimen with its original label and box, showing a group of axinite crystals on a quartz prism, it was discovered at La Balme d’Auris en Oisans, in the Isère department. This deposit is the type locality for axinite, where the mineral was first discovered and described. The deposit was then in the Dauphiné province.
