Multiple photos availablePectolite : NaCa2[HSi3O9]

Jeffrey mine (Jeffrey quarry; Johns-Manville mine), Asbestos, Les Sources RCM, Estrie, Québec, Canada

Field is 3.2 cm wide.
The pectolite was lovingly glued to the blue backing. You are essentially looking straight down into a TN box in this view. (This is one of those “doesn’t do it justice” photos.)
Update September 2009. Better but ... One of these days. The high reflectivity makes it tough.
Stereo child photo (also updated).
