Item Description
A very hard to find locality specimen from the Faroe Islands (labeled as coming from Dalsnypen = Dalsnipa) featuring attractive, sharp, lustrous crystals of pseudo-rhombic Chabazite (the specific species is not known) measuring up to 1.5 cm on edge, sitting on basalt matrix. Most of the crystals are in good shape, and look good in person. Minor Stilbite and Heulandite are also present when viewed up close.
From the worldwide mineral collection of Albert Lewis Kidwell (January 1, 1919 - August 16, 2008). Al was a well-known mineral collector and research geologist with Carter Oil Company and later Exxon Oil Company in Houston, Texas. The phosphate species Kidwellite was named in his honor in 1974 ( https://www.mindat.org/photo-326405.html ).
