SV2160TBC: Diaspore after Spinel with Muscovite
Two Spinel crystals of considerable size that have been pseudomorphed almost entirely by Diaspore. They are embedded in a matrix that displays a multitude of sheets formed by brown leafy Muscovite aggregates with bright reflections. Quite a mineralogical curiosity from Madagascar which was in the old collection of Robert-Auguste Touchon. The specimen has been analyzed and we will send a copy of the analysis to the buyer.
