Field of view: 20 mm. Magnesite associated with serpentinite. The massive white part exhibiting cleavage is magnesite. The surrounding brown crusts are weathered material of serpentinite. The green spots are Annabergite crusts.
Recovered from a magnesite vein in serpentinite intruded along a tectonic line in an accretionary complex.
Magnesite from this location was described in 1974.
