| Comments: | "Thomsonite often forms smooth, translucent, grey to pale brown hemispheres with a resinous lustre. The hemispheres are up to 3 mm in diameter and are composed of elongated plates which are exceedingly thin. Other forms include compact fibrous sheafs and tuffs which retain the grey translucent appearance of the globular form. The tips of these fibres sometimes appear as if they have been partly fused together." |
