Mineral assemblage

Mineral assemblage Calcite, Diopside, Pyrolusite, Vesuvianite, Wollastonite.

Vesuvianite

Vesuvianite crystal in calcite. The crystal is not damaged recently in any ways, the white line is an old fracture healed with calcite. The lustre of it is wonderful. Yes I really like this one, even that the crystal only is 15x7x7 mm.
Collected during the bergslagen -98 tour.

Vesuvianite

Another nice sample of the vesuvianite crystals from Snösjön.
Also this one have a fracture that's healed. The color is dark brownish green with a nice marmorated pattern on it.

Wollastonite

Wollastonite fibres with calcite.
The wollastonite occurs as banded structures and compact masses.
It is very easy to find nice samples on the big dump piles.
Yellow flourescens.

Diopside

Dark green diopside in wollastonite.
The diopside i've found doesn't show any clear crystal form, but it shows the good cleavage of diopside..
