Light yellowish faceted amphibole made up of 3 different minerals; pargasite edenite and richterite. These kinds of amphiboles have to be cut very carefully, due to the very good crystalline fracture . The specimen has a good transparency and luster. A slight window is present but without disturbing the overall appearance of this collector stone.
