Item Description
Glassy, pearlescent, lustrous heulandite crystals fill a vug in basalt on this showy old-timer from a classic and important zeolite locale. This is a real rarity, as very few heulandites are available from the Faroes. Ex Samuel Ashmead and Philadelphia Academy Collections from the 1800s! A must for the species or locality collector. This is a bright and showy specimen. Valued $300
