Dark grey hexagonal gmelinite crystal with pyrite inclusions, pale tan siderite, red fluorescing calcite, and pyrite. Ex Jo Price Collection. Width of view 6mm. Stack of 55 images. Click on the image below for a higher resolution version.
Greyish-green prismatic spray of crystals of elpidite (green fluorescence), pale yellow tabular thomasclarkite, silver hexagonal molybdenite, tiny brown siderite, green prismatic aegirine, and sodalite (orange fluorescence), in white albite (pink fluorescence). A yellow arrow points to thomasclarkite and elpidite. Identified by mineralogist Dr. Ian Graham. Click on the images for...
Black magnetite octahedra, some with traces of chlorite on their faces. Some magnetite crystals are completely encased in chlorite. Blocky orthoclase crystals form part of the cavity lining. Brown sheaf or club-shaped siderite, yellow hexagonal chabazite-Na, and needles of apatite coated with chlorite. Width of view 6mm. Stack of 70...
Rhombohedral siderite (after calcite?), chabazite-Na (herschelite), and a needle of apatite with orange chlorite grown on it (in front of siderite). Width of view 3mm. Stack of 60 images. Click on the image below for a higher resolution version.

Labelled as apatite but I think the long prismatic crystal is gypsum. The termination is wrong for apatite. There is greenish-brown chlorite and a brown siderite with a hollow core, left hand side of the vugh. Colourless gypsum crystals are also in the top right hand side of the vugh....
