Amphibole on Matrix | 63.44 gr | Vlčí Hora, Czech Republic | SO24
Amphibole is a group of dark-colored, complex silicate minerals that form in a variety of geological settings. The amphibole group includes several mineral species, such as hornblende, tremolite, actinolite, anthophyllite, and others. Each variety has its own unique chemical composition and physical properties.
Amphibole minerals can exhibit a range of colors, including dark green, black, brown, and even colorless. They often have a prismatic crystal habit, forming elongated crystals with distinct cleavage angles. They are commonly found in igneous and metamorphic rocks. They crystallize in magma and can also form during metamorphism when pre-existing rocks are subjected to high pressure and temperature.
This top specimen is in very good condition. Would be a beautiful addition to any new or existing collection.
