Here’s some of the crazy little pockets of zeolites and calcite from the same host rock as my last post. I especially love the clusters of single, clear stilbite crystals against the stark black background of druzy covered matrix. I’m not sure what all the other zeolites are, but I heard thompsonite and likely scolecite and/or mordenite are present, among others.
