I will locate the specimen and try to confirm the ID. I think a long, prismatic hornblende crystal like that would be fairty unusual, so I'll be happy if that's what it really is. More later.

I wonder if hornblendes typically have (110) faces, or if they are a different angle? These faces certainly are common in diopside/augite.
