Sodalite and twinned albite, Norway

Sodaliet and albite, Sagåsen Quarry, Auenlandet, Porsgrunn, Vestfold og Telemark, Norway. My other post explains the bluish green fluorescence of the sodalite @275 nm. This is a similar piece, but the albite present shows a nice albite twinning (lamellea at the right and bottom)
