Chabazite (intense color)

Item Description

From the recent find in 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 orange-red color with very sharp faces and are aesthetically intergrown to form what is an overall beautiful display piece. I cannot say for certain which species of Chabazite this may be, but my best assumption would be Chabazite-Ca. For the quality, color and great visual appeal, this is a great display specimen of this Zeolite species that often occurs in typically less than colorful crystals. Please note that the largest crystal is contacted.
