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.

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 - $ 300 SOLD
Mont St. Hilaire, Quebec, Canada
miniature, 3.5 x 2.9 x 2.1 cm

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.
