3RN-HP2Calcite CaCO3
Dimensions: 3.5 cm x 3 cm x 2.5 cm
This specimen was collected from a road cut off of Woods Road near the village of Farellton north of Wakefield in carbonatitic rock that had been affected by hydrothermal activity creating the pocket from which this specimen was collected. The specimen fluoresces red under LW UV.
DEL-VDUCalcite CaCO3
Dimensions: 4 cm x 3 cm x 2 cm
This specimen was collected from a road cut off of Woods Road near the village of Farellton north of Wakefield in carbonatitic rock that had been affected by hydrothermal activity creating the pocket from which this specimen was collected. The specimen shows twinning and fluoresces red under LW UV.
N2K-73LCalcite CaCO3
Dimensions: 5 cm x 5 cm x 5 cm
This specimen was collected from a road cut off of Woods Road near the village of Farellton north of Wakefield in carbonatitic rock that had been affected by hydrothermal activity creating the pocket from which this specimen was collected. The specimen fluoresces red under LW UV.
XPH-JTDSabinaite Na4Zr2TiO4(CO3)4 , Weloganite Na2Sr3Zr(CO3)6·3H2O
Dimensions: 3 cm x 1.3 cm x 1.5 cm
I collected this specimen in 1977. The sabinaite is the white powdery mineral. This specimen was checked by Anne P. Sabina.
