Levyne
Moonen Bay, Isle of Skye, Scotland, UK
Crystals to 7 mm

Levyne crystals to 7mm in a gas cavity in basalt 16mm across. The thin blue layer lining the cavity is a clay - like mineral. The broken edges of some of the levyne crystals show the white fibrous epitaxial overgrowths of (erionite/offretite). Self-collected in 1994 from Moonen Bay, Isle of Skye, Scotland.
