Pale green tremolite in calcite from Bird's Creek, Bancroft District. This specimen came from a collection of unmounted microminerals I recently obtained. FOV is about 3 mm in length. I originally called it diopside, but further dialogue with Mindat members and an EDS analysis I commissioned leads me to change the ID to tremolite.
