Item Description
A cool Canadian Zeolite specimen from the Kamloops Lake locality in British Columbia. The piece features radial "sprays" of rich orange-red Ferrierite-(Mg) measuring up to 6 mm across sitting on light blue Chalcedony matrix. You rarely see these on the market, and this is one has good color, though the crystallization is a bit crude. 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.
