Item Description

A very rich specimen of this rarely crystallized zeolite species, which seldom crystallizes in zeolite deposits to the same degree as its more common cousins stilbite and apophyllite (I am not sure why). This specimen has sharp, glistening white crystals to about 1.5 cm in a protected vug of volcanic rock.
