Product code: Analcime, Italy - deals Rare Specimen! Analcime Crystal Cluster with Augite, from Buco dell'Inferno, South Tyrol, Trentino-Alto Adige, Italy
A good-sized vintage analcime on matrix specimen deals from Northern Italy that comes with two old identification labels. Sometimes the old labels are hard to interpret because of language and handwriting, but I was able to find a piece on mindat.org that had an old label that matched the local of this specimen's label. The analcime crystals, to 0.7 inches, are predominately white, with a few small dabs of pink/red iron staining. The matrix is presumably basaltic, with some visible dark green-to-black crystals of augite.
Measures 3.25 x 2.2 x 2 inches.
