Stilbite & Quartz (M879)
This is almost unique material. It was one exceptional discovery by Bruce Cairncross, which produced this material. An article about the locality, the minerals and the circumstances of the discovery was published in Rocks&Minerals magazine (July/August issue 2018). This specimen shows huge exposed, free-standing Stilbite crystals with chatoyant faces - they show just a touch of pink color and are resting on sparkling micro-crystals of quartz. In excellent condition all around.
