Thomsonite
An old piece (probably thomsonite-ca), with two generations: yellow globules up to 0.7cm
wide - now impossible to find - and smaller spheres (0.1cm) pale blue to
gray. The yellow color is due to other minerals encrustation (I have
been told it could be tobermorite or tacharanite...?
definitively, I do not know ); nice contrast on the white matrix and an
old classic from this
locality
