A large semi lustrous slightly translucent crystal of analcime 2.5 cm across set on matrix. In good condition. The specimen comes with a previous label from the collection of Ray DeMark. Cape d'Or, Nova Scotia, features rugged Mesozoic basalt cliffs formed by ancient volcanic activity along the Bay of Fundy. Its mining history centers on late 19th and early 20th century commercial extraction efforts targeting native copper veins hosted within the basalt, alongside historical small-scale prospecting. The local rock cavities and vugs frequently host secondary minerals, including well-crystallized specimens of analcime, a common framework silicate mineral belonging to the zeolite family.
