Item Description

An attractive display specimen of the famous Stilbite from Moore's Station. The piece is filled with eye-catching, orange color, lustrous Stilbite "blades" and "sheaves" up to 7 mm on matrix. The crystals cover the entire display side of the specimen, and is a beautiful piece for what it is. As a species, Stilbite typically is white/colorless in hue, so to find crystals with such a strong an eye-catching color is rare. The piece is certainly one of the better pieces from the locality that I have offered in the auctions.
