Tacharanite (rare silicate) & Phillipsite

Item Description

Tacharanite is a rare hydated Ca-silicate and phillipsite is a zeolite. Nifty, snow-white tacharanite puffballs are richly peppered in the sculptural vug lined with sparkly, tiny phillipsite crystals. The matrix is a dense basalt. Showy and excellent combination material from this well-known French locale.
