Locality: 
Teigarhorn, Berufjord, Djúpavogshreppur, Eastern Region, Iceland

10.6 × 9.3 × 6 cm
Description

Minerals from Iceland are generally very rare. Viamineralia had the great opportunity to acquire an old collection - the former owner used to spend his holidays on Iceland and Faroe Islands for decades and had a collection with  mineral only from this one area. In this special auction we will present some of the very best pieces. 

This piece is different to the other stilbites - the crystals are white and also partly glossy, but they are more isolated and so you can see the dark brown matrix between the crystals which helps to give a lot of contrast to this piece. The crystal size, the assemble and the quality is really very good for Iceland. No significant damages to report.
