Improving Mindat.orgSpecimen is serpentine, not talc

1st Sep 2014 18:14 UTCMark Heintzelman 🌟 Expert

Specimen image http://www.mindat.org/photo-350376.html clearly states in it's own text that this is what it looks to be, "deweylite" serpentine, and not talc. The green coloration is due to nickel impurities which this locality is well known for. There is no talc present in this image.
