Serandite is very well crystallized and it has classic rich salmon pink-red color and good luster. It is translucent with gemmy zones and neat Aegirine crystals inclusions. Moreover, the piece has of character and contrast given by the association of tan Catapleiite pseudomorph after Sodalite. Black Aegirine needles penetrate all over. Some very small Manganoneptunite and white Albite are present too. Rare now since the collecting is forbidden. Ref: The Mineralogical Record, 21, 332-333.
