Aegirine is a member of the clinopyroxene group of inosilicate minerals. It is the sodium endmember of the aegirineโ€“augite series, and has the chemical formula NaFeSi2O6, in which the iron is present as the ion Fe3+. Aegirine occurs as dark green monoclinic prismatic crystals. This photograph depicts aegirine crystals with minor feldspar found at Mount Malosa in Zomba, Malawi.
