This attractive small-cabinet specimen features numerous sharp, lustrous, white trapezohedral crystals of analcime from the world-renowned Mont Saint-Hilaire locality in Quebec. The crystals are bright white, opaque, and exceptionally large for the species, displaying excellent form and sheen. Minor microcrystals of siderite are scattered here and there in spots, and a pseudomorph of an unidentified mineral after aegirine can be seen near the back of the specimen.
A fine and well-formed example of analcime from one of the world’s most celebrated mineral localities, admired for its remarkable diversity and exceptional crystal quality.
