This specimen features hydroxyapophyllite crystals with lizardite and calcite on matrix. Properly called "hydroxyapophyllite-(K)," hydroxyapophyllite is a variety of apophyllite that is typically colorless. It more frequently grows cubic crystals, but these specimens from the renowned N'Chwaning Mines region form tabular square crystals similar to wulfenite, and can be colorless to semi-translucent white with inclusions.

The matrix on this specimen is very thin, and displays a well-formed pair of intersecting crystals at the center. The light matte brown mineral coating the specimen is lizardite, which often grows in small spots along the junctions of the hydroxyapophyllite crystal. Calcite druzy glitters through the lizardite and covers the back of the specimen. The calcite has also formed stacks of small scalenohedral crystals. The dark matrix is likely manganese-based; the N'Chwaning mines were established to extract the rich manganese ore in the area. Coffee-brown staining may be iron.

UV reactivity Calcite can cause the hydroxyapophyllite crystals growing over it to glow a weak red under 365 nm UV light—try it in a dark room with a strong flashlight. An unknown whitish mineral finely dusts areas of the specimen strongly fluoresces icy blue.

** Brittle warning! Hydroxyapophyllite specimens are somewhat delicate and may shed pieces; limit handling.

Surprisingly good shirt for the price
Fit Type: Regular Fit, Color: White, Size: XX-Large
I’m generally pleased with my purchase. I got a 2XL because the website it would fit my neck. Around the waist it fit similar to Amazon Essentials work shirts (like mechanics use which I find comfortable). It was snug around the waist when sitting, but I can’t complain because I have a belly. I did find the neck snug when buttoning the top button so it means the neck is 18 or 18.5 and I wear a 19/19.5 to have 1-2 fingers space in the collar. The shirt is surprisingly thick like Amazon’s work shirts, much thicker than other dress shirts from another brand. And I am pleased that this shirt has button holes like other Amazon shirts does, all vertical button holes except the last one at the bottom which is horizontal. That feature keeps the shirt from unbuttoning itself during daily movement at the office. A very nice feature! I was a little disappointed in how it was packaged however but I have to press and wash it anyway.
