Description

Elegant specimen of metagranitic matrix hosting a cream yellow spheroid, perched in the middle of a druzy of chloritized adularia. Stilbite has a good lustrous for both the specie and locality, and it nicely contrasts with the green chlorite.

In good conditions, well balanced and fairly old, as it dates back to a lucky find of the 90s. It comes from a major find of those times, which I purchased early last summer. 
Quite sought after!
