Summary edit

Description
English: Talc
Locality: Vermont Verde Antique International quarry, Rochester, Windsor County, Vermont, USA (Locality at mindat.org)
Size: cabinet, 11.3 x 7.5 x 5.3 cm
Talc
This large cabinet example is one of the finest crystallized talcs I could imagine. First off, it is green - and most talc is just plain old white. Secondly, it is from a classic, defunct, and important US locality. And lastly, it is aesthetic, with freestanding crystals all over the place, instead of tightly compacted masses as you usuaully see from here and from other locales where talc occurs purely. The classic Italian examples are as fine in crystalography, but i have not seen a big and green one around, so I am going to stick my neck out there and say I think this really does have to rank pretty highly, for the species. For what its worth, I paid $2500 myself for it just to have in case my gut feeling was right about it, since I had never seen the like of it.ex. Ken Hollman Collection
