Purple fluorite cluster and isolated crystals with green needles of aegirine, brown pseudohexagonal pyrophanite, and colourless albite crystals, all in a white albite matrix. Ex Art Smith Collection (collected in 1986). Width of view 8.63mm....
Deep sharp red-brown rhombohedral crystals, one perched on aegirine crystal. There are also colourless reticulated crystals below right of centre. Maybe albite? One small area on top of rhodochrosite (not in photo) fluoresces orange. Ex...
