Description

A remotely correct analysis comes to the conclusion this is a very rich specimen of slightly orange-colored mesolite with grayish tinted calcite. Normally there's the similar pickeringite and mesolite is not known from the locality but I trust the analysis. By all means an interesting specimen.
