Stilbite with Chabazite and Heulandite

Item Description

From the find from 2007. Beautiful and RICHLY colored golden-brown Stilbite crystals sit atop a thin layer of matrix hosting beautiful pink Chabazite and slightly silvery Heulandite crystals. 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.
