Thomsonite specimens from Ljósá Quarry, Eiði, Eysturoy Island, Faroe Islands
Interesting specimens of Thomsonite from the Ljósá Quarry, a small road cutting on Eysturoy Island - an island with around 11500 inhabitants, the second largest of the Faroe Islands.
I wasn't able to find out much about the quarry; Mindat suggests it was worked in 2011. Having explored a little on google maps, this appears to be the locale - a very small area indeed.
The quarry was known to produce Analcime, Apophyllite, Gyrolite and Thomsonite as well as several other minerals - whether the cutting is completely picked over now I have no idea. The material does seem to be quite uncommon online, although this is perhaps expected due to the remote nature.
We currently only have a single specimen in stock, a decently sized piece with a surface coating of Thomsonite along with some minor Gyrolite.
