Stilbite with Chabazite

Item Description

From the find from 2007, these are simply some of the finest color Chabazite specimens from any locality. This piece features a gorgeous orange colored group of translucent, sharp, lustrous Stilbite sitting atop salmon colored crystals of Chabazite. It should be noted that 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 have very sharp faces, good luster and are intergrown to form 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 display specimen of this Zeolite species that often occurs in typically less than colorful crystals.
