Description/Interesting Notes: A rare, 19th century example of chromian clinochlore from this historic Russian locale!!! This specimen consists of a broad, robust crystal of deep magenta-purple chromian clinochlore that is unlike anything I ...have ever seen before!!! The crystal's border is complete all around and the crystal exhibits a stunning, metallic purple appearance on its broad faces!!! This specimen is from the personal collection of noted collector-dealer Lawrence Conklin and retains its original label in addition to an old American Museum of Natural History label, catalog #295, which dates it to the mid-1800's!!! This specimen is in terrific condition and displays magnificently in person!!! The pics hardly do it justice!!! Must be seen in person to be fully appreciated!!!Good luck and be sure to check out my other exciting mineral auctions on ebay!!!
