Nova Scotia Gmelinite – October 2020
Posted by: Raymond McDougall on 10.07.2020 | Filed under: Latest, Recent Mineral Updates

I’ve posted beautiful specimens in this new Nova Scotia Gmelinite Update (click here). These include superb crystals from Two Islands and also some sharp, glassy specimens of gmelinite after chabazite from Five Islands. Neither of these localities has produced gmelinite specimens of this calibre for a while – these came out a few years ago.
