Description:
Wollastonite from the Fengjiashan Mine, Daye, Hubei, China. Not especially bright compared to other minerals, but a very nice subtle fluorescence. A nice color change specimen as well, especially in SW and MW. A little unique in shape as well; most Fengjiashan wollastonites seem to longer and thinner.
