| Albite |
This sample comes from the Luzan Talc Mine St. Pierre, de-braughton, Quebac, Canada. The name on the sample container included all the above with "/incl" following the name of the mineral.
The formula for Albite is Na(AlSi3O8). According to Mindat.org it can be white to grey, bluish, greenish or reddish. It was named in 1815 by John Gottleib Gahn and Jöns Jacob Berzelius. It is a silicate with six sided crystal.

As an amateur geologist, I am unable to decide what is the inclusion and what is the albite. I used my photographic sense to compose these images.

I have a feeling that the inclusion is albite which is dark brown in color.
