JFD30AN7: Doubly terminated Augite crystal of good size for the locality and on matrix, which is not so common in specimens of this species. It also has small crystals of some associated Zeolite (possibly Phillipsite). It comes from a well-known, although somewhat forgotten locality, located very close to an urban area. Antonino Bueno Yanes found them in July 2014 and this is how this Spanish classic 'came to light' again.
Outcrop located on the road to the dock, Morro del Jable, Pájara, Fuerteventura, Las Palmas Province, Canary Islands Spain (07/2014)
Specimen size: 2.7 × 2.7 × 2.5 cm = 1.06” × 1.06” × 0.98”
Main crystal size: 2.1 × 1.3 cm = 0.83” × 0.51”
