Item Description

The piece comes from an old East Coast collection, and probably came out at least 25 years ago. These are some of the most classic zeolite specimens from the United States, especially outside of the East Coast. Sharp, VERY lustrous, well-formed, peach colored groups of Heulandite measuring up to 3.3 cm sit aesthetically on snow white Mordenite matrix. The Heulandites are incredibly lustrous, and they look beautiful in person. Great condition all around with only a tiny bit of roughness. Such a showy display specimen of this classic material that would give Indian Heulandites a run for their money from the standpoint of quality.
