Item Description

Fine example of fibrous, as well as radial, Natrolite from Germany, from an old location we seldom see anything from in collections today. This is an important example because this is where the species was first described. The pearly luster really enhances the white color of the dense, fibrous growth of this zeolite. From the impressive and expansive collection of Dr. Robert J. Lauf, this is a PUBLISHED and Type Locality specimen, both of which are of particular interest to collectors. Ex. Gay and Adams, with note card, book signed by author, and any old labels included.
