This is an old-time Alpine specimen of large, gleaming, super-sharp crystals of analcime, measuring to 3.4 cm across. They are sitting on a band of calcite, set up nicely atop a grayish matrix. The large crystal at one end of the specimen has a matrix contact at its edge. Exquisite crystal form. Was in an old Austrian collection, and also came with an old Burminco label.
