This rare Kammererite specimen features vibrant purple-red crystals with exceptional color saturation and clarity, making it a truly striking and collectible piece. Mined over 25 years ago from the historic Kop Dağları deposit in Erzurum Province, Turkey, this specimen comes from a locality that has been closed since 2009, further increasing its rarity and desirability.
Kammererite, the chromium-rich variety of clinochlore, is prized for its deep violet tones and lustrous crystal habit. Specimens of this caliber from the original Kop Dağlari mines are now nearly impossible to obtain, making this piece a significant addition for any advanced collector or museum-quality display.
