A single Pyroxene Crystal

Orthopyroxene as a matter of fact.

I've outlined it from rest of the rock, just to emphasize its shape "in the wild."

The length is about 12 cm.

PS. You really can't tell ortho from clinopyroxene ALL the time. Usually the clino is darker, and the ortho is lighter in color. Posted by Picasa
