Chrome Tremolite - gem crystal (Ref: 21.1-181)
Merelani Hills, Lelatama Mountains, Simanjiro District, Manyara Region, Tanzania
57mm x 15mm x 6mm
minID: 9WE-NEN
A large, choice and gemmy Chrome Diopside crystal. This comes from the best locality for this uncommon variety of Tremolite, the Merelani Hills famed for its Tanzanite. Very little has been available for the past few years and usually much smaller. This is a very large crystal for the specie, the color is slightly zoned from a bright apple green at the base to a more yellow-green below the termination. The termination is somewhat crude but complete with several separate points and some dark inclusions. The crystal is well-striated giving a silky look to the sides of the prism. This is fully transparent so it does not need any backlight to show off the color. From: Well-Arranged Molecules
