A rare specimen from Butte County in California showing a cluster of bladed, light brown, Axinite crystals. The largest crystal has clear areas and is in very good condition with only a small amount of microscopic chipping. Murdoch, Joseph & Robert W.

Comes mounted in a 1.25-inch perky box with an original old faded label. A true rarity for the California collector and much better than photos.
