Detailed Description
Unique specimen of gmelinite after chabazite, where the gmelinite crystals are on a bed of glassy, water-clear analcime crystals. The largest gmelinite is 1.8 cm and the analcime crystals are up to 5 mm. If you want to put it in a thumbnail box, it does make it on an angle, although a bit snug. No damage - there is a contact at the lower front edge of the gmelinite, it faces down at the bottom, as displayed. Good epimorphism - hollow at the bottom of the gmeilnite is clearly visible. Great gmelinite colour, and lots of sparkle from the analcimes.
