Here you get a pretty big slightly green forsterite crystal disclosing a sharp lustrous crystal faces at least at three sides. The mineral has a naturally occurring brittleness; therefore also bigger cut pieces have been quite rare. On the small calcite part a black spinel octahedron is attached. Interesting paragenesis from the Dattaw mine
