Incredibly rich drusy of vivid orange clinoptilolite with great lustre and textbook prismatic blocky habitus, associated by thin fibers of white mordenite on top of volcanic matrix.
Quite interesting for the locality. The specimen comes from a batch acquired years ago but the famous collector Saul Krotki, a real specialist in high quality micromounts.
