This can be clearly recognized by the altered crystal shape. The base consists of fine moonstone / orthoclase crystals, which show a typical white shimmer and also the scapolite itself has a fine fibrous inclusions, which would show a chatoyancy / (cats eye effect) in case it would been cut into a cabochon. The small black crystals are ilmenite. Unique and very interesting specimen !
