Description
两颗透亮的方沸石长在红色基岩上,基岩上的红色矿物应该是红硅钙锰,我的照相机能勉强拍出晶型,特别是被方沸石包裹着的地方,能看到漂亮的红硅钙锰。基岩上还点缀着很多柱状方解石和白色的疑似鱼眼石。 mindat 上有人提到红色的是赤铁矿,但我认为应该不是。(https://www.mindat.org/UTK-YXN) ------ Two transparent Analcime crystals are situated on a red matrix. The red mineral comprising the matrix is likely Inesite. My camera struggles to capture its crystal form clearly, but beautiful Inesite is visible, particularly where it is included within/enclosed by the Analcime. The matrix is also dotted with numerous columnar Calcite crystals and what appears to be white Apophyllite. Someone on Mindat mentioned that the red mineral is Hematite, but I believe this is incorrect. (Reference: https://www.mindat.org/UTK-YXN)
