Stilbite & Heulandite (old - Philadelphia Academy)

Item Description

Sharply crystallized specimens from this old zeolite locality by the Bay of Fundy are RARE and are very rarely on the market. A striking, 3.0 cm flower-like stilbite crystal dominates the sculptural vug lined with pearlescent, translucent light brown stilbites in the pastel-pink heulandite crystal crust. This excellent rare old-timer, from the 1800s, was formerly in the E.D. Drown, Philadelphia Academy of Sciences and Wouter van Tichelen Collections. A must for the species or locality collector. It has two fine display views.
