Goosecreekite with Stilbite on Quartz

Item Description

An outstanding geode consisting of several, beautiful, well-formed, crystals of Goosecreekite with a large, lustrous, cross-like cluster of bow-tie Stilbite crystals. The three, snow-white Goosecreekites are from 1.6 to 3 cm in length and are glistening, elongate, complex crystals that taper at both ends. The cream colored Stilbites form two, tightly grouped, very lustrous, elongate bow-tie clusters that cross at about 120 degrees. The largest measures 8 cm in length and the smaller about 5.5 cm. The Goosecreekite and the Stilbite are aesthetically placed on sparkling, coarse drusy white Quartz for optimum composition and displayability. They all coat a large hemispherical vesicle in basalt that has a gray-brown exterior. This is a highly significant rarity and artistic piece for Goosecreekite - one of the most rare of zeolite associated species. It is also nice to see such large crystals in context! Valued $1000-1500.
