Analcime from Shengus Mine, Rundo Valley, Skardu, Pakistan [db_pics/pics/d06-238b.jpg]

Who knew?! I know its only analcime, but this zeolite family mineral is rarely found in such a beautifully crystallized manner , and especially I have not seen any good ones form this part of the world! Yet, here it is,purchased at the Denver show form a real live Pakistani who swears by the locale. It is perched high on matrix and exhibits superb crystallography. It is slightly translucent, lustrous, white, and the crystal measures 2.3 cm in length.

Analcime (Analcite) from Oahu Island, Honolulu county, Hawaii [db_pics/new2010/D1073c.jpg]

Analcime crystals to 1 cm on a basalt matrix. This is an old piece with what seems to be museum accession numbers inked on the side, this is a rare Hawaiian mineral specimen. It came to me from the collection of US specialist Ted Johnson, and the locality given is simply Honolulu. While a number of quarries there have produced analcime , by report, I have not seen any others for sale or in photos.

Analcime from Nova Scotia, [db_pics/new2012/gems-226a.JPG]Analcime from Nova Scotia, [db_pics/new2012/gems-226b.JPG]

Analcime is one of the few Zeolites that forms in gemmy enough crystals for faceting. The Bay of Fundy area in Nova Scotia has been known to produce gemmy crystals of Analcime, though not very big. This stone actually looks much better in person, and was a real chore to photograph. Because the photos magnify to gem so much, they make it looks heavily included, and the stone actually faces up quite well with only moderate inclusions. The stone has a "Cushion" cut, and is what would be considered "gem quality". One does not often see gem quality Analcime on the market anymore as most localities produce chalky white crystals that rarely show any gem areas whatsoever. This stone would make a nice addition to a rare colorless stone collection, a Canadian gem collection, or even a facetted Zeolite suite.

A bright and sparkling, unusual combo from Michigan. The piece has sparkling, jewel-like analcimes to about a quarter inch just draping over and mostly covering an unusually large cluster of quartz for this mine.

Serandite with Analcime and Aegerine from Mont Saint-Hilaire, Quebec, Canada [db_pics/pics/lw6b.jpg]

Very attractive combination specimen with a terrific Serandite crystal as the centerpiece. This crystal is an amazing 3.6 cm on edge, 1.2 cm thick, and has the classic deep salmon-flesh color and lustre. The lustrous Aegerine crystal along one side is 2 cm long, and the Analcime crystals do exhibit some well-defined crystal faces. This specimen is from the famous pockets of late 1976, with this distinct combination of balancing analcime! There is some minute edge wear not visible at first as you can see, but considering the overall quality and importance of this specimen as an aesthetic miniature, it is minimal.

MCW18 - Haineaultite on Analcime and Natrolite - SOLD
Mont St. Hilaire, Quebec, Canada
miniature, 3.5 x 2.9 x 2.1 cm
share specimen

Sorry, we have no images of this specimen at present.

This specimen would be considered a very rich example because of the eye-visible wealth of bright , gemmy yellow crystals present; and comes with a label from Gilles Haineault showing that he collected it in April of 2000. The crystals are not sparse at all and a whole seam of them is easily seen without needed visual aid. The piece has several very sharp crystals to 2mm

Miniature, 5 x 4 x 2.5 cm For the species (one of the very rare complex carbonates from MSH), this is a very rich specimen, with eye-visible crystals throughout. Sharp isolated crystals are perched on the analcime, and adjacent to the analcime cluster is a sabinaite group measuring 6 mm across, again with eye-visible, sharp crystals.
