Verde di Prato, from Prato, Florence, Tuscany, Italy
Geological description:
Serpentinised coarse peridotite, and clear milky and fibrous serpentine veins. Various microstructures of alteration and exsolution in pyroxene visible on the slab surface. Note opaque white ?quartz veins and a few small calcite veins.
Comments:
This appears to be typical verde di Prato. See no.593 for the serpentinite from Santa Cattarina, on the Isle of Elba.
