Slab of classic combo of eudialyte (red), agrellite (white, grey) and black amphibole. Sources differ on the amphibole as it could be ferri-katophorite or magnesio-arfedsonite.  The Kipiwa Alkaline Complex is the type location for agrellite. The agrellite is altering in places which shows a grey-blue colour giving the piece an added contrast. The agrellite does fluoresce. Slab is polished on one side.
