Datolite

Transparent, colourless crystals of datolite are cut for that collector only. A tinge of yellow, green, or white can also be present. More regularly, however, datolite occurs like a massive material, which might contain copper inclusions.
Localities include Austria, Italy, Norway, the United States, Germany, and England. The primary supply of massive datolite with inclusions may be the Lake Superior section of The United States.
