Description

Nice miniature featuring a good coverage of brick red chabasite crystals over white microcline crystals. Associated, some nice slightly divergent sprays of green epidote. All species are well crystallized and quite lustrous and provide some very good photography subjects.
Some peripheral damage, mostly on the specimen outskirts. 

Acquired from a local collector during a dedicated (for the participants) mineral show in the town of Strzegom, in the framework of the First Mindat Conference in Poland (2011). Good times!
