Gmelinite after Chabazite

Item Description

This piece dates back to the find from 2007. This material is some of the finest color and quality Gmelinite that you'll find from any locality. The rhombohedral Gmelinite crystals on this specimen are a lovely pink salmon color with very sharp faces, TOP luster and the classic "hillocks" to form what is an overall beautiful display piece. The largest crystal mesures 2.0 cm on edge. I cannot say for certain which species of Gmelinite this may be, but my best guess would be Gmelinite-Ca. The Gmelinites have actually formed pseudomorphs after preexisting Chabazite. For the quality, color and great visual appeal, this is a beautiful miniature sized specimen of this zeolite species that often occurs in typically less than colorful crystals.
