Diopside on Albite (variety Antiperthite)     Rose Road Wollastonite Occurence, Pitcairn, New York. Collected by Michael Walter, 2007. One of the better high luster specimen from this summer long dig. The specimen measures 7.4 x 5 x 4.5 cm and has 3 primary diopsides to 5 cm each. The biggest crystal sits up high on the specimen, is doubly-terminated, and nice in form. Some terminations are very nice some crude. The feldspars are crude as is almost always the case at this locale. 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 from this locale. Better in person. I was lucky enough to find many of the best specimen ever recovered from this location so I obviously need to part with some of them. Sits great, views well from all sides and is damage-free. 375$
