This specimen belongs from a very rare location from an active quarry in Northern Ireland. It consists of a druse of white analcime with minor amounts of basalt as a matrix. Very unusual in the market. With an old label from Mikon.

Size: 5.9 x 4.4 x 4 cm.
Main crystal: 8 mm.

These aggregates of hexagonal gmelinite crystals are a classic of Northern Ireland mineralogy. In this specimen we can enjoy a vacuole covered by orange crystals, very well defined and brilliant. They are accompanied by small analcime crystals, richly faceted and transparent. Gmelinite specimens from this quarry were analyzed by X-ray fluorescence and SEM-EDS by Stephen Moreton. The results indicated that both gmelinite-Ca and gmelinite-Na are present and even zoned in the same crystal.

Size: 7.9 x 7.4 x 3.2 cm.
Main crystal: 4.3 mm.
