Stilbite with Chabazite

Item Description

From the find from 2007. Beautiful and RICHLY colored golden Stilbite crystals sit atop beautiful pink Chabazite crystals on matrix. 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 are a lovely salmon color which help add to what is an overall beautiful display piece. 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 association specimen of this Zeolite species that often occurs in typically less than colorful crystals.
