Felskinn, Fee Glacier, Saas-Fee, Visp, Valais, SwitzerlandLargest Crystal Size: 12 mm
White prehnite with unusualy strange shape, prehnite was identified thanks to the samples of the alpine museum of Saas fee.
We can see clinichlore, little vesuvianite light brown and hessonite garnet dark brown and maybe talc or asbestos
