Leucophanite : NaCaBeSi2O6F, Hambergite : Be2[O|OH|BO2], Albite : Na[AlSi3O8]

Østskogen Quarry, Tvedalen, Larvik, Vestfold, Norway

Section of a leucophanite crystal 3,5 cm wide and 2,5 cm high, in a matrix of feldspar and "spreustein" (natrolite after sodalite or nepheline). What making the sample interesting is the white reaction-rim round the crystal, which consist of a mixture of albite and hambergite (analysed by Alf Olav Larsen). Sample was collected in the summer 2006.
