A compact association of Scapolite with Albite, showing crisp contrast between prismatic scapolite and pale feldspar matrix. At 20.66 g, this drawer-friendly piece is ideal for teaching sets, reference trays or macro photography.

Why it’s interesting

  • Two-species contrast: vitreous scapolite faces against white albite provide clear textural and colour separation.
  • Study-ready: excellent for demonstrating crystal habit and cleavage differences.
  • Compact display size: lightweight specimen that presents well in small cabinets or photo stages.

  • Form: Natural specimen (scapolite prismatic/columnar; albite granular/tabular)
  • Weight: approx. 20.66 g

  • Listing: 1 × specimen (as pictured)

Mineralogical notes

  • Scapolite: tetragonal; colourless to honey/grey; vitreous; Mohs ~5–6; distinct cleavage.
  • Albite: triclinic plagioclase; white to off-white; vitreous; Mohs ~6–6.5; perfect cleavage in one direction.
  • Streak: white (both); SG: scapolite ~2.5–2.7; albite ~2.62.
  • Fluorescence: some scapolite fluoresces yellow–orange under UV (not guaranteed for this specimen).

Suggested uses

  • Reference sample for distinguishing feldspar vs. scapolite in hand specimen.
  • Educational display on crystal systems and cleavage contrasts.
  • Macro/hand-lens photography subject with clean textural definition.

Care

  • Handle gently—scapolite has distinct cleavage and can chip along prisms.
  • Dust with a soft brush; avoid soaking, acids and ultrasonic cleaning.
  • Store cushioned to protect edges and faces.

Note: Natural mineral specimens show inherent variations, contact points and minor imperfections—each piece is unique.
