Item Description
One does not think of zeolite species coming from the Alpine-type deposits at Alchuri, but here we have a very fine and rich specimen of sharp, glassy, natrolite prisms. The transparent to translucent crystals reach 1.8 cm and are in a striking, jackstraw cluster. Extremely rare material from the dealer stock of intrepid Himalayas dealer, Herb Obodda.
