Chabazite

Item Description

From the find from 2007, these are simply some of the finest color Chabazite specimens from any locality. Chabazite is typically white or off-white in color, but to find rich color crystals like this is very significant. The pseudo-rhombohedral (they're actually triclinic) crystals on this specimen are a deep salmon color with very sharp faces, good luster and are aesthetically intergrown to form what is an overall beautiful little dipslay piece. The largest crystal measures 1.0 cm on edge. I cannot say for certain which species of Chabazite this may be, but my best guess would be Chabazite-Ca. For the quality, color and great visual appeal, this is a beautiful piece of this Zeolite species that often occurs in typically less than colorful crystals.
