Item Description

A classic specimen of Stilbite-Ca from the Leveäniemi Mine in Sweden featuring radiating clusters of lustrous muted golden-orange "sheaves" on matrix. The Stilbites are in good condition, with no major damage that I can see with the naked eye to the central crystals/groups. These are not commonly seen on the market, and if you collect Zeolite minerals, this is something that would make a great addition to your collection. From the worldwide mineral collection of Albert Lewis Kidwell (January 1, 1919 - August 16, 2008). Al was a well-known mineral collector and research geologist with Carter Oil Company and later Exxon Oil Company in Houston, Texas. The phosphate species Kidwellite was named in his honor in 1974 ( https://www.mindat.org/photo-326405.html ).
