Item Description
Wairakite is a rare Zeolite Group species discovered in 1955. Specimens are very uncommon from this small gold and silver mine, operated from 1925 to 1965. Snow-white crystallized wairakite richly covers two faces and is visible as a vein in the volanic matrix. Rare, rich and uncommon zeolite material from this obscure locale.
