Can anyone make out the form of this light tan colored crystal growing on aegirine? See child photos for another view

This one is similar to apophyllite.

Thank you for your input Pavel, I did not previously consider apophyllite... I will let you know what I find out when I get it analyzed!

Titanite?

Thanks Laszlo, could be. My collecting partner and I sent about 40 specimens for EDS analysis, and this was one of them. I will share the results as soon as I get them.

EDS analysis indicated this mineral is most likely monazite. See child photos for data

Yes, clearly monazite-(Ce).


EDIT: Photo no. fixed.

This specimen also has catapleiite on it; the graph you are looking for, Uwe, is here http://www.mindat.org/photo-740568.html
