Stilbite (rare locality) (ex Kay Robertson Collection)

Item Description

Most people don't think of zeolite species when it comes to Swiss Alpine minerals, but they have been found from time to time. This attractive display specimen features a few cream colored radiating groups of Stilbite measuring up to 1.0 cm across associated with minor Smoky Quartz on matrix. An interesting association specimen and a cool novelty to add to any collection. Ex Kay Robertson Collection (#10398). Kay is a prominent California collector, who specialized in European classics (see the article in the March-April, 2007 Mineralogical Record and the 50+ page article in the German Magazine "Mineralien Welt" November-December 2017).
