Description: Calcite + analcime. A gorgeous brown group of slightly curved rhombohedral calcites, in a vug lined with small (2mm) analcime crystals. The calcites are very lustrous, and rather difficult to photograph ! Vug measures 36mm high x 25mm wide. Self-collected 1999 from Talisker Bay, Minginish, Isle of Skye.
