Thus it is from igneous breccia, which means that, despite the color, this should not be sérandite. However EDS (child \"photo\") shows only Si, Mn and Ca (with Mn apparently >> Ca).

But taking it literally, it would suggest rhodonite\u002Fpyroxmangite - both of which are highly unlikely for MSH. If, however, one assumes that Na was somehow missed, then it would appear that this is a Ca rich sérandite - despite sérandite not having been previously reported from igneous breccia at MSH.

There is another, larger belovite xl on the specimen that Pavel pointed out (see the link above), but I failed to spot it because under tungsten lighting it looks too similar to sérandite. However, under CFL it turns quite green and can be easily spotted in the hand held specimen. (Note: Belovite-(Ce) apparently has fairly good cleavage for an apatite group mineral, which is another reason that I failed to spot via the scope.)
