<dd>Ex Ron Waddell. A closeup of the greenish nepheline is at <a rel="nofollow" class="external free" href="http://www.mindat.org/photo-170659.html">http://www.mindat.org/photo-170659.html</a> The nepheline is unaltered but the xls are not sharp. The hot pink kentbrooksite xls are small but many are well formed. Updated April 2016 with EDS analysis which shows that kentbrooksite is very likely. Note that, unlike other MSH kentbrooksite photos posted here, which are orange, these crystals are pink. In fact, they look a lot like manganoeudialyte in <a rel="nofollow" class="external free" href="http://www.mindat.org/photo-279270.html">http://www.mindat.org/photo-279270.html</a> showing once again that color is worse than useless for identification of eudialyte group minerals at MSH.</dd></dl></dd></dl></dd></dl></dd></dl>
