Description

This specimen features a beautiful sparkling group of dark-cream-coloured (or light-beige-coloured) natrolite crystals, 2.0 x 2.6 cm, with several other sparkling natrolite groups on the piece as well. There is actually quite a bit going on on this specimen: the background is mostly comprised of lustrous tan-coloured heulandite crystals, there are a few small clear-translucent analcime crystals and tiny calcite crystals. In excellent condition, to the eye, no damage, and with magnification a few natrolite crystals are missing tips and a couple of the analcime crystals are incomplete. This pretty specimen sits perfectly as photographed and glistens in the display lights.
