A beautiful large cabinet combination piece from this prolific locality. The pictures here do not do this specimen the slightest justice! The piece consists of a 16.5 x 9.0 x 5.0 cm concave shaped basalt matrix, one side mostly covered by peach colored stilbite crystals to 4.0 cm in length. Near the center of the matrix is an attached grouping of pale yellow glassy gem quality twinned calcite set with a translucent lustrous lovely green apophyllite-(KF) crystal. The calcite measuring 4.0 cm across; the apophyllite-(KF) measures 3.5 cm. There is no damage. Again, the quality of the piece is outstanding; the piece is much better in person than as seen in these poor photographs. Ex Lloyd Tate collection. Ref: The Mineralogical Record: 34: 29-33.
