Description

Remarkably large plate of white to colorless datolite crystals on red ophiolite matrix. Associated, a few minor white calcite crystals.

Very hard to get a hold of nowdays, especially in this size and quality, this is a specimen dated back to the early 2000s.
Connoisseur material, from my personal collection.
