Description/Interesting Notes:
A fantastic example of lawsonite from the type locality!!! This specimen hosts a rich showing of sharp, lustrous crystals of bluish lawsonite on a matrix of
bluish glaucophane and green omphacite in association with a few scattered orange colored garnet crystals!!! The lawsonite is
very well crystallized - with
numerous complex crystals having sharp, lustrous faces and marked translucent bluish color!!! The matrix consists of a combination of platy green crystals of
omphacite intergrown with oriented, bluish crystals of glaucophane!!! There are a few highly complex crystals of orange colored garnet embedded in the matrix
as well!!! This specimen retains an old label from the Hardman Collection as well!!! The pics hardly do this specimen justice!!!
type locale
