Description from the seller
A notably large specimen of Talc from Val Germanasca, in the province of Turin, an area known for its deposits of this mineral.
The specimen displays an almost uniform white color.
Its surface features a compact structure, with lamellar aggregates oriented in different directions, forming irregular ridges and undulations.
The luster is predominantly silky, with delicate reflections that highlight the mineral’s texture. The morphology is massive, with no clearly defined individual crystals, and smooth surfaces alternating with areas of more irregular structure.
Talc is the reference mineral for grade 1 on the Mohs scale, and is therefore characterized by extremely low hardness. Its size and distinctive surface structure make this specimen representative of the Talc formations of Val Germanasca.
Origin: Val Germanasca, Turin, Piedmont, Italy
Weight: 2.873 kg
Dimensions: 27 × 21 × 6.5 cm
