The pale natrolite clearly highlights the greenish diaspore areas and gives the specimen a contrasting structure. <\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2040\" data-end=\"2302\">Diaspore belongs to the aluminum hydroxides and is particularly interesting for systematic mineral collections. Its association with natrolite represents a typical mineral assemblage from the complex alkaline rocks and pegmatites of the Langesundsfjord area. <\/p>\n<h3 data-section-id=\"m28nhw\" data-start=\"2304\" data-end=\"2353\">Diaspore from the Saga 2 Quarry near Sag\u00e5sen<\/h3>\n<p data-start=\"2355\" data-end=\"2670\">The Saga 2 Quarry is located near Sag\u00e5sen in Auenlandet, Porsgrunn Municipality, Telemark, Norway. The area belongs to the mineral-rich larvikite region along the Langesundsfjord and is known for numerous unusual mineral species. Diaspore is documented from the Saga 2 Quarry.  <\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2672\" data-end=\"2865\">The specimen measures 6.5 \u00d7 4.5 \u00d7 2.0 cm and weighs 45.7 g. It is therefore a compact small cabinet specimen. Its particular appeal lies in the combination of pale green diaspore and white natrolite. <\/p>\n<div class=\"TyagGW_tableContainer\">\n<div class=\"group TyagGW_tableWrapper flex flex-col-reverse w-fit\" tabindex=\"-1\">\n<table class=\"w-fit min-w-(--thread-content-width)\" data-start=\"2867\" data-end=\"3529\">\n<thead data-start=\"2867\" data-end=\"2893\">\n<tr data-start=\"2867\" data-end=\"2893\">\n<th class=\"last:pe-10\" data-start=\"2867\" data-end=\"2877\" data-col-size=\"sm\">Feature<\/th>\n<th class=\"last:pe-10\" data-start=\"2877\" data-end=\"2893\" data-col-size=\"md\">Description<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody data-start=\"2904\" data-end=\"3529\">\n<tr data-start=\"2904\" data-end=\"2929\">\n<td data-start=\"2904\" data-end=\"2918\" data-col-size=\"sm\"><strong data-start=\"2906\" data-end=\"2917\">Mineral<\/strong><\/td>\n<td data-col-size=\"md\" data-start=\"2918\" data-end=\"2929\">Diaspore<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr data-start=\"2930\" data-end=\"2964\">\n<td data-start=\"2930\" data-end=\"2951\" data-col-size=\"sm\"><strong data-start=\"2932\" data-end=\"2950\">Associated Mineral<\/strong><\/td>\n<td data-col-size=\"md\" data-start=\"2951\" data-end=\"2964\">Natrolite<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr data-start=\"2965\" data-end=\"3052\">\n<td data-start=\"2965\" data-end=\"2979\" data-col-size=\"sm\"><strong data-start=\"2967\" data-end=\"2978\">Locality<\/strong><\/td>\n<td data-col-size=\"md\" data-start=\"2979\" data-end=\"3052\">Saga 2 Quarry, Sag\u00e5sen, Auenlandet, Porsgrunn, Telemark, Norway<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr data-start=\"3053\" data-end=\"3086\">\n<td data-start=\"3053\" data-end=\"3064\" data-col-size=\"sm\"><strong data-start=\"3055\" data-end=\"3063\">Dimensions<\/strong><\/td>\n<td data-start=\"3064\" data-end=\"3086\" data-col-size=\"md\">6.5 \u00d7 4.5 \u00d7 2.0 cm<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr data-start=\"3087\" data-end=\"3111\">\n<td data-start=\"3087\" data-end=\"3101\" data-col-size=\"sm\"><strong data-start=\"3089\" data-end=\"3100\">Weight<\/strong><\/td>\n<td data-col-size=\"md\" data-start=\"3101\" data-end=\"3111\">45.7 g<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr data-start=\"3112\" data-end=\"3145\">\n<td data-start=\"3112\" data-end=\"3131\" data-col-size=\"sm\"><strong data-start=\"3114\" data-end=\"3130\">Size category<\/strong><\/td>\n<td data-col-size=\"md\" data-start=\"3131\" data-end=\"3145\">Small cabinet specimen<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr data-start=\"3146\" data-end=\"3195\">\n<td data-start=\"3146\" data-end=\"3158\" data-col-size=\"sm\"><strong data-start=\"3148\" data-end=\"3157\">Color<\/strong><\/td>\n<td data-col-size=\"md\" data-start=\"3158\" data-end=\"3195\">Diaspore pale green; natrolite white<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr data-start=\"3196\" data-end=\"3287\">\n<td data-start=\"3196\" data-end=\"3208\" data-col-size=\"sm\"><strong data-start=\"3198\" data-end=\"3207\">Luster<\/strong><\/td>\n<td data-col-size=\"md\" data-start=\"3208\" data-end=\"3287\">Vitreous to pearly on diaspore; vitreous to silky on natrolite<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr data-start=\"3288\" data-end=\"3381\">\n<td data-start=\"3288\" data-end=\"3306\" data-col-size=\"sm\"><strong data-start=\"3290\" data-end=\"3305\">Morphology<\/strong><\/td>\n<td data-col-size=\"md\" data-start=\"3306\" data-end=\"3381\">Pale green diaspore crystals associated with white natrolite<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr data-start=\"3382\" data-end=\"3436\">\n<td data-start=\"3382\" data-end=\"3395\" data-col-size=\"sm\"><strong data-start=\"3384\" data-end=\"3394\">Matrix<\/strong><\/td>\n<td data-col-size=\"md\" data-start=\"3395\" data-end=\"3436\"> Pale, natrolite-rich rock matrix<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr data-start=\"3437\" data-end=\"3529\">\n<td data-start=\"3437\" data-end=\"3456\" data-col-size=\"sm\"><strong data-start=\"3439\" data-end=\"3455\">Special Feature<\/strong><\/td>\n<td data-col-size=\"md\" data-start=\"3456\" data-end=\"3529\">Diaspore-natrolite association from the Saga 2 Quarry<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Pale green diaspore crystals occur together with white natrolite in a characteristic mineral association from the Saga 2 Quarry near Sag\u00e5sen, Norway.
