Item Description

A beautiful specimen of Natrolite from Mont Saint-Hilaire, featuring a sharp, well-formed, prismatic, slightly compressed tetragonal crystal free of matrix. The internal color is a light peach-pink, which is not common for the species. It's in very good shape, though there is a contact along the front edge. Great material, and these Natrolites are iconic are sought after from MSH. It is now difficult to obtain specimens from this locality as collecting has been limited / reduced in recent years, so if you collect minerals from this world famous prolific locality, don't miss out on this attractive thumbnail.
