“In the fringe at the pegmatite contact⟳ the amphibole has been almost totally asbestified, but near offshoots the degree of its asbestification falls to 40 or 30%.[…]The totally asbestified holmquistite is accompanied by grains slightly affected by this process⟳ as well as by crystals showing latent fibrousness.”
