I’ve added excellent new specimens from Cape Split in this Nova Scotia Update (click here).
Cape Split is on the Blomidon Peninsula – “Blomidon” is best known among mineral people as a classic locality for analcime. Over the past three years, a pocket system at Cape Split has sporadically yielded excellent, distinctive specimens of several minerals, most notably the groups and hemispheres (and even balls) of natrolite crystals, associated with sharp analcime crystals, and lustrous brownish stilbite crystals. This pocket system seems to be at an end, and this group of specimens represents some of the nicest pieces recovered from these finds.
