Stilbite on Chabazite

Item Description

From the find from 2007, these are simply some of the finest color Chabazite specimens from any locality. Chabazite is typically white or off-white in color, but to find rich color crystals like this is very significant. The pseudo-rhombohedral (they're actually triclinic) crystals on this specimen measure up to 8 mm on edge and are a lovely salmon color with very sharp faces, good luster and are intergrown to form what is an overall beautiful display piece. To top it off, the Chabazites play host to a group of golden-brown Stilbite measuring 1.6 cm. I cannot say for certain which species of Chabazite this may be, but my best guess would be Chabazite-Ca. For the quality, color and great visual appeal, this is a beautiful display specimen of this Zeolite species that often occurs in typically less than colorful crystals.
