Description

A nice specimen with greyish nepheline crystals accompanied by bits of black andradite garnet which is often referred to as schorlomite. At least it is Ti bearing andradite - some analyses of this material yielded schorlomite as result, some not. The specimen is from a find around 2003 IIRC at Jebel Bou-Agrao, Tamazeght alkaline-peralkaline complex in the Northern Central High Atlas.
