5.5 x 3.3 x 1.8 cm. A good representative specimen of the potassium calcium rare earth silicate, miserite mixed with wollastonite. The pink miserite actually fluoresces a yellow color under UV light. This stuff is rare, and specimens are few and far between. Ex. Paolo Matioli and Minerals Unlimited specimen.
