The crystal outline seems to indicate heulandite (which would show such a lustre).

Crystal outline and what appears to be parting parallel to the outward-facing crystal faces suggests heulandite.

I would agree that you specimen is heulandite. It looks very typical for the Blomidon / Cape Split area, on the chaulky white sinter.
