Gem green Tremolite crystal from the Tanzanite mines. Terminated gem crystal from a new find with the best chrome green color I've seen so far in these specimens. One side is indented but I think this is natural as some of these (and most of all previous finds) had etched edges, not unlike spodumene. Pictured in the Sept.-Oct. 2009 issue of the Mineralogical Record (figure 79, page 383). Great color on this one, size 2.8 x 1.3 x 0.5 cm.
