Description

An interesting Arfvedsonite pseudomorph and overgrowth specimen from recent finds at Mt. Malosa, Malawi. First, this is a two-sided specimen, with the two, nicely angled crystals. Second, the crystals are pseudomorphs of Arfvedsonite after sharp Aegirine crystals. And third, a second generation overgrowth of sparkly, green Arfvedsonite needles has covered most of both of the pseudomorphs.
