Axinite
Axinite from Dal'negorsk, Primorsky Kray, Russia
Excellent crystals, and great luster. These are sharp crystals which are pointed, stacked sub-parallel multiple times. Literature has described these cystals as split wedge-shaped crystals. This can be seen in the photos. It is not known if this is actually the iron or manganese dominant end-member. They say Mn dominates, but you cannot visually discern either way.
