Large, sharp crystals of Axinite-(Fe) from the well-known occurrence at Meldon Aplite quarry in Devon, England. The crystals are of an excellent size for this locality, but are of the opaque, matt brown sort, otherwise the price would be significantly more. Nevertheless a fine specimen of British axinite.
