Description
钙锰辉石晶洞,里面长满了绿色针状钙锰辉石以及水晶。在灯光下调整观察角度,能看到一些闪闪发光的晶体,大概是锰斧石,但由于过于微小,肉眼和手机照片都没有看出来。标本比较脆弱,容易掉渣。 ------ A johannsenite vug is filled with needle-like johannsenite crystals and quartz. When adjusting the viewing angle under the light, some sparkling crystals can be seen, which are probably axinite-(Mn), but due to their tiny size, they are not visible to the naked eye or in phone photos. The specimen is quite fragile and prone to shedding small pieces. ------ The vug on the front of this miniature specimen is lined with light green, sharp, radiating johannsenite crystals, associated with some razor-sharp axinite crystals and milky white quartz prisms. Very photogenic under the microscope! -- D Joyce Mineral
