Clinoptilolite-Na

Item Description

Clinoptilolite is among the rarest, and certainly most complex, of all the Zeolite Group. These rare, pinkish crystals are in a Laumontite-coated vug, and this is the first mention of Clinoptilolite from India that I can find. There are eight clusters (books) of crystals, with individual Clinoptilolites ranging up to 1.3 cm across. They are glassy,lustrous, and pristine. This is the finest Clinoptilolite specimen that I have EVER seen, and it is better in person. Last purchased for $1,450 by the previous owner in the 1990s....from the infamous travelling salesman, Keith Proctor. Ouch. In all seriousness, it IS a very good example of this species. We value it more like $300.
