Mineral: Spessartine glaucophane schist
Locality: Bagnes Valley, Wallis (Valais), Switzerland
Dimensions: FOV 4 cm.

Description: Detailed view of the polished surface. The main green crystal shows a 75º cleavage according to (100) and (010) faces of the kyanite, so we should consider it is kyanite better than omphacite (I haven't got an analysis).
