This delicate specimen consists of a large number of intergrown crystals of Elpidite, a relatively rare hydrated sodium zirconium silicate. The Elpidite crystals have a slightly silky luster with attractive striations parallel to the c-axis. You don't often find such rich aggregates of crystals. An excellent specimen from a world-famous mine.
