A single, off matrix, well-formed crystal of Eudialyte from Kangerluarsuk Fjord, Ilímaussaq Complex, Narsaq, Greenland. At 28 mm in length it is not the largest crystal known from there, but it is nevertheless an excellent example from the Type Locality. As is typical, crystals from Kangerluarsuk Fjord are opaque to translucent and dark burgundy in colour in comparison to some of the brighter, pinkish, gemmier crystals from other world occurrences. The rear of the crystal is broken where it was attached to the rockface, but the front two sides present the crystal form wonderfully. It is accompanied by an old handwritten label about which no further details are known.
