Chrysotile with steps...

This chrsotile is found on a surface of serpentine just above the sole of the Vourinos Ophiolite, like 1 m. above.
In addition to being a great mineral specimen, the long splinters are elongate to the NW, with "rough steps" stepping towards the NW.
Movement over this surface hence, is to the NW. Chrysotile forms at cooler temperatures than that of the maximum temperature reached along the sole; this means that movement was still in the same orientation and active along this cooler surface.
