Magnet Cove, Hot Springs County, Arkansas

K(AlSi₂)O₆

Here is a very large, crude, single crystal of Leucite. Of some interest, is the label from the the Sunshine Acres School. Apparently, this was not actually a school, but a nudist colony active during the 1950s. Now, why a nudist colony had a mineral collection is another question altogether.
