I think that this small hand specimen of massive Scapolite (aka Wernerite) strongly resembles some feldspar pieces that I have seen- it appears to have a warped crystal form and has a dull cream coloration and some possible rust-staining. Its luster is waxy at best, and it is completely opaque. Portions of it glow a bright yellow under longwave ultraviolet light, however, betraying its true identity.
