A carbonatite "vein dike" in gneiss. This locality was removed during road-widening prior to 1986, but specimens labelled with Earle's Farm are still widely available.
Sabina provides the following description:
"In gneiss.
Prismatic crystals of fluor-richterite measuring up to 25 cm long occur with minor amber mica and clinopyroxene in light salmon-pink coarsely crystalline calcite. The fluor-richterite crystals are bluish grey to black, and in places are coated with goethite. The calcite fluoresces bright pink in "short" ultraviolet light and reddish pink in "long" ultraviolet light."
