Item Description
A fantastic, large and rare 3-dimensional zeolite crust from this less well-known locale. Celadonite, an uncommon member of the Mica Group, has included 3 zeolite species in a striking array of color! Rich green and chocolate-brown celadonite have included the sharp, glassy fluorapophyllite crystals, to 2.0 cm, that compose most of the piece. Mint-green celadonite has included most of the cluster of lustrous, curved heulanites on the left side, but there is some salmon-pink hidden out of sight. A combination of mint-green and chocolate-brown celadonite has included the nifty cluster of stilbite blades on the center-right. Specimens of the large size, aesthetics and combination quality are quite rare from here and it's pristine! Value for such a large rarity? We believe in the $1000-1500, is quite fair.
