Natrolite and Analcime (uncommon locale) Schlichter Coll.

Item Description

Zeolite specimens from this obscure Oregon basalt road metal quarry are rare, seldom on the market and are difficult to collect in fine specimens, such as this. Striking sprays of very glassy, acicular, natrolite crystals fill a scuptural vug lined with lustrous analcime crystals. This piece may date to the late 1960s finds, as written up in a 1970 Mineralogical Record article. Choice and uncommon material from the Schlichter Collection.
