Item Description

A rarely seen example of the Zeolite Group, here we have a lovely miniature specimen of Brewsterite-(Sr) from the well known occurrence at Yellow Lake, British Columbia, Canada. This is a lovely specimen encrusted with sparkly, gemmy to translucent, light pink to colorless crystals of the rare barium, strontium Zeolite species. The largest crystal measures 2.5 mm. Fine quality and HARD to find on the market now. Ex Kay Robertson Collection (#7609). Kay is a prominent California collector, who specialized in European classics (see the article in the March-April, 2007 Mineralogical Record and the 50+ page article in the German Magazine "Mineralien Welt" November-December 2017).
