Description
This piece features beautiful pink twinned crystals of gmelinite to 1.1 cm. Sharp and lustrous, these crystals exhibit the classic fine triangular crystal growth patterns. In excellent condition – no damage to any of the main part of the specimen (incomplete crystals at the outer edge on the right hand side – this faces away from view as I would display it). Excellent gmelinite specimen!
From the collection of well-known Nova Scotia collector Terry Collett, this specimen was collected on August 19, 2011.
