This is a beautiful 2.9" wide association of white feldspar crystals and lustrous black aegirine crystals. This mineral cluster was collected from Mount Malosa in the Southern region of Malawi, Africa.
Aegirine is a sodium iron silicate with the chemical formula NaFeSi2O6. It is a member of the pyroxene group and it shares the same crystal structure as augite, but a different chemical composition. It typically forms long, slender crystals that can bear reddish-black, brown, black or greenish colorations.
