This specimen features hydroxyapophyllite crystals with lizardite and calcite on matrix. Properly called "hydroxyapophyllite-(K)," hydroxyapophyllite is a variety of apophyllite that is typically colorless. It more frequently grows cubic crystals, but these specimens from the renowned N'Chwaning Mines region form tabular square crystals similar to wulfenite, and can be colorless to semi-translucent white with inclusions.

The matrix on this specimen is very thin, and displays a well-formed pair of intersecting crystals at the center. The light matte brown mineral coating the specimen is lizardite, which often grows in small spots along the junctions of the hydroxyapophyllite crystal. Calcite druzy glitters through the lizardite and covers the back of the specimen. The calcite has also formed stacks of small scalenohedral crystals. The dark matrix is likely manganese-based; the N'Chwaning mines were established to extract the rich manganese ore in the area. Coffee-brown staining may be iron.

UV reactivity Calcite can cause the hydroxyapophyllite crystals growing over it to glow a weak red under 365 nm UV light—try it in a dark room with a strong flashlight. An unknown whitish mineral finely dusts areas of the specimen strongly fluoresces icy blue.

** Brittle warning! Hydroxyapophyllite specimens are somewhat delicate and may shed pieces; limit handling.

Mediocre mens shirt
Material feels great, however the product doesn’t hold up to laundry when following the instructions. The process makes it acceptable, you can get maybe 6 wears out of it before it makes a great Buffy cloth for waxing car

Good quality! Very fair price.
Color: White, Size: X-Large
Great quality!!! Good pricing as well. Normally buy LL Bean, these are half the price and will likely not shrink!!! Typically wear them under another sweater or shirt. Size fit good with exception of sleeves' which are at least 2 inches longer then most of my XL shirts...just rolled them over!!! Good look for sure!

Comfy Turtle Neck
Color: Light Blue, Size: Large
Very nice quality, soft and plush. Very tight turtle neck that holds its place without sagging. The sleeves are long enough to cover the wrist bone.
