This specimen is covered with thousands of tiny crystals and grains of clinohumite. Intergrown in places with the clinohumite is another mineral-tabular white to light gray crystals that I believe may be a feldspar. The crystals of clinohumite are too small to really verify the monoclinic form, even with a loupe. There is no damage on this specimen.
