Description

Bicolor sputnik aragonite, medium "Double Scoop"Locale: Morocco Approx dimensions: 3. 25 x 2" Approx weight: 295g This variety of aragonite clusters earns its trade name from the resemblance to the Sputnik satellite, with crystals protruding out in all directions. The bicolor variety grows crystals that are red brown and a grayish white color. This piece has two large connected spheres like two scoops of ice cream. It has well formed crystals in a good bicolor balance on one side, and the other

It is often cut into flat slabs to best show the layering

best viewed in dark conditions with a strong 365nm UV light

though most are coated with the brown mineral

UV reactivity The aragonite will give a moderate reaction under 365 nm UV light

There are several roughly-spherical formations on the piece like spiky balls

but is stepped down and smaller than the main crystal

Epidote grows long slender prismatic crystals with saturated olive green color

This specimen has three very light pink interconnected chalcedony formations

but it would take more advanced analysis to confirm the true content

It's unclear to me if the main schorl is a single crystal or some product of twinning

which may be hyalite

Approx weight: 158g
