Scapolite Grenville Scapolite Prospect Grenville-Sur-la-Rouge, Argenteuil RCM Laurentides Quebec,...
Scapolite Grenville Scapolite Prospect Grenville-Sur-la-Rouge, Argenteuil RCM Laurentides Quebec, Canada 2.62 x 1.72 x 1.01 inches (6.65 x 4.38 x 2.56 cm) The yellow on this unusual fluorescent specimen from Canada is the mineral Scapolite (Wernerite), which shows up vibrantly under Shortwave Ultraviolet light. The contrast against the dark Diopside patches of the piece, even when illuminated this way, really makes the bright flashes more significant. This is a great oddity.
