RM2945   Albite, magnetite, epidote and actinolite
Na(AlSi3O8)

These specimens are formed by numerous prismatic crystals of albite, very well defined and interpenetrated. They are accompanied by acicular crystals of actinolite and epidote, and octahedral magnetite. A piece of good size and quality. They were sold as orthoclase but a recent XRD analysis I have done indicates that it is albite (2/15/2024). Maybe more interesting. 1udn
