Large Gmelinite Chab Replacement
Large Gmelinite Chab Replacement from Wasson's Bluff, Cumberland County, Nova Scotia, Canada
Collection Robert Lavinsky
Description A dramatic cluster of large Gmelenite crystals featuring a giant 3 cm crystal in the middle, all of which have replaced Chabazite. The luster is unusually good on this piece, almost glassy and far better than many others. This is new material collected recently from this classic old locality that is difficult to access, by Rod Tyson (a semi-retired mineral dealer and well-known Canadian field collector). This is a significant piece for overall size and quality.
Locality Wasson's Bluff, Cumberland County, Nova Scotia, Canada
Dimensions 7.6 x 5.7 x 4.6 cm.
Specimen Grade C
