Amesite : Mg2Al[(OH)4|AlSiO5]

Cerro Sapo, Ayopaya Province, Cochabamba Department, Bolivia

Six-fold sector twinning is responsible for the creation of this distinctive field of stars made up of amesite crystal terminations.
The specimen was acquired in Bolivia by Alfredo Petrov from a 1,000 year old pre-Inca sodalite mine. These crystals occur in shallow vugs in a sodalite matrix from an ankerite-sodalite-barite carbonatite dike. ...
