Scapolite (var. Marialite), Chabazite

This specimen features a dynamic cluster of well-formed, terminated scapolite (var. marialite) crystals. One crystal that points to the rear appears to be broken and then re-healed. The scapolite exhibits a pink fluorescence under UV light, though the intensity is slightly less pronounced than the photo suggests. One side of the specimen (near the bottom) is adorned with lustrous, clear chabazite crystals, which are further accompanied by numerous micro chrome-green aggregates of an unknown mineral, adding to the specimen's intrigue.

This remarkable piece originates from a well-known pegmatite collecting locality within the Grenville Province in Quebec. The area is designated as a "Zec," or "Zone d'Exploitation Contrôlée," meaning a controlled exploration zone, where collecting is carefully managed to ensure the preservation of these exceptional mineral specimens.
