Diopside, Biotite (Ref: 13.1-364)

Birds Creek (McFall Lake), Herschel Township, Hastings Highlands Municip, Ontario, Canada
51mm x 43mm x 32mm
Well-defined, lustrous Diopside crystal up to about 2 CM in a cluster with almost no matrix, just minor Biotite. An older specimen 1960 vintage from the Ruth and Andy Palmer and, also, the William Hladysz collections. The crystals look dark green in normal lighting but with backlight they are translucent and show a bright yellow-green hue. Attractive and in fine condition, it looks similar to classic Dekalb New York specimens, but is from the Bancroft area. This is one of the best we have seen from the area.
