Diopside on Albite (var. Antiperthite)      Rose Road Wollastonite Occurence, Pitcairn, New York. Collected by Michael Walter, 2007. A very nice specimen which displays only moderately well. It is a substantial specimen measuring in at 7.5 x 6.2 x 4 cm with 2 primary double terminated diopsides to 7 cm each. They are fairly well coated by albite overgrows which distract from the quality of the diopsides. Floater with only a small area of contact on the backside involving two of the diopsides. Brown areas are goethite after pyrite. This is an important specimen which is almost never available for sale. The folks who find nice ones like these almost always keep them. This is better than most museum pieces form this locale. Better in person. I was lucky enough to find many of the best specimen ever recovered from this locality so I obviously need to part with some of them. 395$   GD-1072
