Description
Pretty, good-sized, wine-colored axinite crystal, quite translucent and well terminated, with rare (but nonetheless aesthetic) white silica crusts.
A mineral from the Rampe des Commères, near Bourg d’Oisans, Isère.
This site is located just opposite the Balme d’Auris site, known for its magnificent axinites.
