Oddly knobby greenish material, a fairly new find, originally labeled as grossular. However analysis by Professor George Rossman of Caltech reveals this is a mixture of amphiboles, most closely resembling actinolite. I have only seen a few examples of this somewhat homely material. Some rather small points which may have been matrix contact spots, but otherwise complete all around and in fine condition.
