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 gemmy, sparkly, green arfvedsonite needles has covered most of both of the pseudomorphs.
