Diaspore with Magnetite and Clinochlore Chester Emery Mines, Chester, Hampden Co., Massachusetts 5.3cm x 3.76cm x 2.72cm Ex. A. E. Foote

Description/Interesting Notes: A fantastic, old time example of diaspore from this historic Massachusetts locality!!! This specimen hosts a rich showing of crystalline diaspore in association with magnetite and light green clinochlore!!! The diaspore crystals are present as intergrown blades with broad, lustrous faces and light, faint lavender-grayish color with slight translucence!!! In addition to the lustrous, broad faces of the intergrown diaspore crystals, there are several small cavities that are loaded with sharp, complete, terminated crystals of diaspore!! Terminated crystals of free-standing diaspore from this locality are very rare indeed!!! In person, one can see many more crystals and futher into the vugs than the pictures show!!! Upon close inspection with a loupe or scope, these diaspore crystals are simply incredible!!! This classic old time specimen retains an affixed label from A.E. Foote as well!!! Classic old time material!!! The pics hardly do it justice!!! Must be seen in person to be fully appreciated!!! Good luck and be sure to check out my other exciting mineral auctions on ebay!!!
