Fun 4 or 5 Combo Zeolite Crystal Specimen! #crystals #gems #nature #geology

From the Deccan Basalt Traps of Western India, this zeolite combo specimen is easily one of my favorites. Okenite is the white mineral, the peach is Stilbite-CA (and possibly some heulandite), the lone almost quartz like objects are Fluorapophyllite-K (an apophyllite mineral), there are some quartz pieces as well as some lone little stilbite “bowties” floating around as well. A truly wonderful combo specimen on basalt lava. Okenite is rather fragile (even to the touch it will turn to powder) however since this piece is concave it is perfectly feasable to ship it safely.

    As soon as I saw this, I thought of the giant crab in Moana "So shiny!"

    And for those who now have the song stuck in your heads… Welcome to the club! 🤭

    Speaking of clubs… Don’t forget the Mooney Mineral of the Month club, go get yours today! 😘
