Laumontite on Quartz Casts
Collection
Hershel Friedman
Description
Quartz casts after {Anhydrite%}, some with hollow rectangular tubes where the anhydrite was, coating with bright white Laumontite crystals. This specimen exhibits a very aesthetic combination that doesn't get properly captured in the photo. Laumontite from this locality is usually unstable and crumbles; this specimen seems to have been stabilized as the laumontite crystals are hardy. Ex John Geiges Collection, ex Brad Plotkin collection, ex Eric Stanchich collection #238. Acquired from Eric Stanchich in 2015. Hershel Friedman collection and photo.
