SWUV image showing 3.5 cm roeblingite nodule (red-orange)with platy margarosanite embedded within. Other minerals are nasonite (brownish yellow), charlesite (blue), prehnite (pink), pectolite (orange), axinite (red-orange) and clinohedrite (orange). Clinohedrite is distinguished from pectolite by its' phosphorescent response. Willemite is also present but shown in this view.
